Under Pressure

Berlin summer nights. Kreuzberg. Kottbusser Tor. The joy of cycling, beer on the street and graffiti. Maybe you were standing in front of the kiosk next door when you heard the release of pressure and fire extinguishers filled with paint. Maybe you walked by and marveled at all the paint splatter on the wall. But any joy lasted only a short time, and after half a minute the masked vandals disappeared back into the night. The work lasted a little longer but disappeared when another apartment was built on the empty lot where it was located. The video is the last testimony of what once was.

The 1UP CREW is a sprayer group from Berlin, that appears internationally in public space through their throw-ups and prank bombings.
