While not anything to be proud of, the new and grand ‘Black-Maze Building’ at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz seems to have broken a new record for being ‘graffiti –attacked’ just a week after being unveiled!
Berlin is known for its active and often mindless graffiti artists who will climb any wall and take enormous physical risks to achieve their graffiti tasks – even if this entails death-defying feats like literally hanging over the edge of very high buildings.
In this case the new ‘Black-Maze Building’ does not really represent such an easy target to get into or onto so in this case the ‘aerial’ attack was used and as the top first photo shows, some balls of yellow and white paint were flung on the beautiful black concrete side wall of the building.
A form of artistic terrorism – imposing the dubious and in this case infantile taste of a frustrated graffiti’ artist’ upon those of the architect. The result is a debasement, an abuse of the building and does nothing, adds nothing but takes away from the beauty of the building– in fact more like mindless vandalism dressed up as an ‘artistic’ graffiti comment.
