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

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

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

[-] BaumGeist@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

Gods damn that sounds lovely

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Portland Oregon too

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 39 points 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months 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 .

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

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 11 months ago

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

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

That translation is illegal in the USA.

[-] Knusper@feddit.de 8 points 11 months ago

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

[-] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

Same thing goes with pooping dogs on Paris sidewalks

[-] Hauskrampf@ttrpg.network 7 points 11 months ago

Berliner Mauer moment

[-] u202307011927@feddit.de 7 points 11 months ago
[-] Yuki@kutsuya.dev 6 points 11 months ago

And the graffiti doesn't even look good

[-] bleistift2@feddit.de 30 points 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months ago

And a lot of them aren't.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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 7 points 11 months ago

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

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months 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 3 points 11 months ago

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

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 months ago

You guys have some shit galleries
