Graffiti Factory: The Wall

Cream - HKI: 24th Oct 2009 - 22:55 GMT

Nice shots. I went there somewhere around June / July and all of them without the exception of the first piece seen here were run over. Mostly by their own as if all of them have their own "hangin spot" and mutual respect towards each other. The Boiler Plant is a must see for anyone even slightly interested about the local scene.

You didnt go inside? Theres so much more there...

I went inside, but it was mid-April, and the interior of the ground floor was all mud and ice, mostly deep mud, along with a few ponds of deep water. On top of that, I caught a glimpse of a few faces peering down at my intrusion from above as I entered, and I was a bit concerned about walking into their midst, camera in hand, and nobody else within earshot. You have to keep in mind, I am 40 years old, big, and often mistaken for a donut-addicted cop. Given a fair enough chance, my talkative personality would probably show them how harmless I am to their work, but it was not a chance I felt like taking.

And by the way, where exactly were the stairs? In April, I could find no trace of where they were, although I know they must have used them to get up there.

"I am 40 years old, big, and often mistaken for a donut-addicted cop." ---> Priceless :]

They werent too fond of me either, throwing stones and stuff but after a short chat with them it was all good. Actually, you should use your camera to your advantage: most of the kids there are more or less neglected mostly looking for some recoqnition in their community: "fame"...

You have to go inside the first floor then after you will actually see a couple of them. The first and the closest one is little hard to get to as there is lot of demolished and fallen concrete all over it... Yes, it is bit of an effort which actually makes you kind of appreciate all that effort behind those works.

We should go there together and take some more pics. Before the snow and frost makes it unecesserily annoying.
