Another one of their graffiti, which is not thought to be "nice" but rather full of content for a place where conservativism still has problems to accept that the property of being "human* has nothing to do with being male, female, or anything inbetween. Those "traditional values" are so strong around here, that living with your partner without being married is still called a concubinage! A concubinage! Listen to that! It's not a pair, it's a concubinage! Language can say so many things sometimes.
The image went again the "Fabio Keiner way". This time I don't know if this was really good, and so I'd be very glad for any hints/ideas/critiques.
Yes. And that "fight for a better world" doesn't happen in leaving rooms. This doesn't bring anything. It's political activism in its best sense that does that. In other words, if the people of the former GDR haven't been on the barricades we would still have the Berlin wall.
Indeed it is not fair, Gustavo! It is the most unfair balance that one could imagine.
But this unfairness comes also from the fact that many things are not as they should be. One of these things is the identity that we see here. As long as we don't understand that there is no difference between male, female, etc, as human beings, there can be no fairness at all. So, the political activism that produces such graffities simply screams out what *should* be! It is not what *is*, it is what *should* be.
This one is an identity as it *should* have been on the world. It is human = human, no matter of belonging to some certain group. It says, man = woman = 50-50 in their property of being human beings. Still they are treated differently. What kind of fairness can we expect, when the public opinion and many times also the law itself measures human beings differently, according to their "group"?
But we make also progress! At least there *are* political activists around!
Well, a hard problem it is to like them or dislike them, in general. On the one hand I can understand people very well, when they are very upset about such graffiti on the walls of their homes. Much more than gusto, it is also a kind of "overruling" my own decision of how my home should look, etc. And if it is statues or monuments that are the target of such graffities, I can also get very upset with that.
On the other hand, if such activists wouldn't be present, I assume, we still wouldn't have the right to go voting, or to have a sharply defined working time, social insurance, and the like. We would be, again I assume, still subject to the will of some king, or duke, or anything.
So, when some people have something to say, which is against some established situation, and when they aren't given any other possibility to be heard, I can also understand that they will use any other avialable mean.
I also find many of those graffities rather ugly. But it is not easy to say that they deface. This would be much like raising my own taste above all others, and so I have my difficulties with that.
But there is also good news about this confict. With the always more and more availabe web related technologies, the center of such activities is being shifted towards the web. So, any group can be heard, and at the same time the number of politically oriented graffities went reamarkably down. I think it will go down to zero.
Oh, and not to forget, those people I made the series of, limit their activities on that house, their central office, if you like. And that house belongs to nobody now. It had some owner in the past, but nobody knows what happened with him/her, and nobody has interest to buy it up to now.
Genial!, una equilibrada ecuación!, aunque te digo que si usamos como parámetro de peso, los ingresos per cápita o el consumo de energía o tantas cosas que se te puedan ocurrir, para igualar una ecuación de este tipo, por un lado tendrías unos pocos, y por el otro, todos los millones restantes...:-(, La organización de nuestro mundo no es para nada justa.
A good capture of the symbols and the texture and detail they're painted on, Nick! I don't really like the way graffiti defaces public and private property though. Dave.
