Companies in any city when a square millimeter of building isn't covered in advertisements

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Not in São Paulo - it is forbidden to have most types of public-facing advertisement here.

[-] BaumGeist@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Gods damn that sounds lovely

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

As someone who got to witness the before and after, it is!

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Portland Oregon too

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

They can't find places to paint? Is there some kind of shortage of walls in Berlin? Someone should get on that.

Unpopular opinion: I find simple tagging and non-obscene graffiti in general less offensive than the spam flyers and company logo/QR code stickers everyone sticks everywhere. At least where I live the latter is also way more common.

[-] CaptFeather@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yes! Also there are some of the murals are really good

Tim Heidecker is American but it's a very German name so I'm going to allow this.

En français : oeufs surprise au chocolat dans le beignet, quand elle un centimètre un bâtiment sans graffiti voir

(Première puissance économique européenne, vraiment ?)

Space before question mark: french confirmé

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 year ago

You're not French? Why not? Explain please, I'm curious. Do you hate baguettes or are you naturally humble 🤔

ETA: hon hon hon

I love bread, that's why I am what I am. From France's best friend with the better bread.

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Classic take: name all the Brötchen then?

And if you're France's best friend, why do you keep describing our glorious Peugeot 208 as "Schweinsmiststückswagen für verrückte Weinonanisten"?

[-] wieson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

name alle the Brötchen

Merde , you got me there.

Peugeot 208

J'ai moi-même eu une Peugeot 207 il y a quelques années . Le siège central à l'arrière était même plus confortable que dans l'Audi A5 de mon ami .

I wish I could criticise your French, but it's flawless. You leave me with no other choice. I have to reluctantly nod my head (not smiling though)

[-] wieson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

My secret is deepl. I speak French, but flawfully.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

That translation is illegal in the USA.

[-] Knusper@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

My French isn't the yellow from the egg, so that was quite a puzzle...

[-] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Same thing goes with pooping dogs on Paris sidewalks

[-] Hauskrampf@ttrpg.network 7 points 1 year ago

Berliner Mauer moment

[-] Yuki@kutsuya.dev 6 points 1 year ago

And the graffiti doesn't even look good

[-] bleistift2@feddit.de 30 points 1 year ago

If we’re talking tags, then I’m with you. But graffiti like this is more art than you find in a gallery nowadays. I’ll take that any time. http://youthincmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Graffiti.jpg

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

A lot of those nice “graffiti” works are actually commissioned by the building directly. It’s not usually something that someone does overnight. They’ll set up actual scaffolding and cordon the area off while the artist works. Because it’s an actual art piece, not just a random tag.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago

Eh, commissioned pieces definitely exist but you also have some awesome artists doing it the old fashioned way for sure.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

And a lot of them aren't.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm not from Berlin but I do live in the city. You absolutely see graffiti this elaborate in the wild. In fact it normally comes in on top of all the random tags and mess if it never gets cleaned up

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 1 year ago

Every great graffiti artist started with crappy tags and ugly graffities.

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

I read "crappy tags and ugly giraffes" and was confused but also upset that you'd cast shade on the giraffes like that.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 1 year ago

Well, every giraffe also starts as a crappy one (not tall at all).

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

You guys have some shit galleries
