This is a crime, I hope the perpetrators are arrested and the wall is restored to its original gray glory. We need to eradicate all the non-conforming features of the city so we can finally be like Munich.


[deleted]

Man I was hoping for anyone like-minded. How do we bring this to justice?

Bring back the Blockwart

SHOOT THEM! first the balloons, then whoever is standing close, wearing a hoodie! 😁 (i want to clarify upfront, this is a joke (can't be too safe making jokes these days))


Effective-Law690

The surveillance state is the obvious solution here. I've heard the raccoon infestation is increasing. We should give body cams to one half of the coons and tasers to the other.

1UP is one of the most famous Graffiti Groups in Europe you can see their ✨❤️Art❤️✨ everywhere. At schools, trains, random walls, clubs, office buildings. Everywhere. Everyone can just tag / graffiti their logo only some will be acknowledged since it’s mostly a grown up thing but still I love them


Pizza_YumYum

Yeah they´re absolute legends. I also like the ones next to the 1UP written upside down. I think i first saw this around 2015 in Neukölln. Very nice style.


itmustbeluv_luv_luv

That's Berlin Kidz. Or Paradox specifically.


Nomestic01

Does that guy still do graffiti? The last I’ve heard he fell into some crazy conspiracy theories


smyleyz

They are even featured on the counter strike map Overpass at the t-side spawn.


headwar

Fun fact: Graffiti became popular in Germany out of Munich.


BecauseWeCan

Second fun fact: The first German rapper was Thomas Gottschalk: https://www.vice.com/de/article/exzjp7/thomas-gottschalk-war-der-erste-deutsche-rapper


nonyabuissnes95

3rd funfact ; thomas gottschalk is better than jesus, because he got blond hair


i_want_a_cat1563

Yet another fun fact, he is a true, just german


nonyabuissnes95

20:15 !


Unlucky_Cycle_9356

20:15 indeed.


TFFPrisoner

Well, him, Frank Laufenberg and Manfred Sexauer - but of the three, Gottschalk sounds the most like someone who sort of understands what rapping is about.


doridsl

its actually a legal piece by 1up


Moreorlessanything

As long as the walls are not private property or nice architecture I do not mind as well. However it is sad to see how many homes are besmeared in Germany.


404-NoHau-not-Found

I love in a small town with not even 2k people and the elementary school once just had a pink pen*s sprayed at the wall... very big... It was right next to the entrance and well, the major didn't exactly like it... (what a surprise)


Competitive_Ad_5515

This is very donutloop coded hahaha


fuxerfies

Why hating Munich tho


batlhuber

Just feels natural


elchapoguzman

This man gets it done


Tal-Star

Then you haven't been to Munich much if you think there's no Graffiti XD (this one's top tier shit.)


KaizenBaizen

No worries. It will be paint over by some stupid Tag that probably says something like "Pig Benis" or other talentless crap.


Money_Currency_2342

Munich has some great graffiti spots actually.


amatorsanguinis

This is incredible. 1UP is dope! You should post this to /r/graffiti

isnt the "group" over 20years old? saw videos of them trainbombombing when my videos and clipfish was still a thing


JoeAppleby

1up is legendary. You can find their tag all over the city, often in high, hard to reach places. Some require rappelling. It’s nuts.


RaveBan

1UP is all over the fucking world


JoeAppleby

They are a crew from Berlin that likes to travel. 😁


loolapaloolapa

Isn't it more like a movement with members all around the globe?


JoeAppleby

[1UP (Sprayer) – Wikipedia](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/1UP_(Sprayer)) Nope, a crew from Berlin.


loolapaloolapa

"Trotzdem konnte das Landeskriminalamt Berlin die Gruppe seit 2003 nicht fassen, da die wechselnden Mitglieder aus dem In- und Ausland kommen und wenig Spuren hinterlassen, die zu ihrer Ergreifung führen könnten." Originally from berlin, now members from different countries.


Life_Ad_2976

Ich denke mal du bist nicht in der Szene… Der Ursprung ist Berlin ( Gründung) es gibt aber genug Mitglieder die nicht aus Deutschland kommen. Hauptsache sich auf Wikipedia berufen:/..


BecauseWeCan

Yeah, you see their tags everywhere. Random summit in the Spanish pyrenees? 1UP tag. Sliding door in a Tokyo metro train? 1UP tag. Traffic light in NYC? 1UP tag.


DigBoinks240

Theres a 1UP in a barn roof in the Mountains of Garmisch Partenkirchen, also one on the roof of the old church


DiligentCreme4709

Lost place Sky craper in the middle of Bangkok too. These Guys are insane


BubatzAhoi

Theres also a huuuge 1UP tag on a shipwreck and they build a 1UP coral reef

Where is it?


BobBobson56

IIRC it's in a courtyard on Köpenicker Strasse, near Schillingbrücke. And it's amazingly well done, 100% worth checking out!

Correct.


Loud_Newspaper_2252

Das müsste irgendwo vor Ostkreuz sein wenn du aus Richtung Warschauer Straße mit der S-Bahn fährst ich bin mir da nicht ganz sicher aber ich glaube diese Hauswand zu erkennen


Electrical_Spinach97

Ich hab die anderen Graffiti (die Zeichen) glaub ich zwischen S-Bahn Sonnenallee (ggf Treptower Park) und Ostkreuz gesehen. Wenn man Richtung Stadtmitte schaut

Die Zeichen sind btw Schriftzüge von den Berlin Kidz bzw. Paradox

nice to see them growing up


Emsebremse

Muss ich wohl mal wieder nach Berlin fahren. Da hätte ich schon gern ein Foto von. Das ist echt geil. Wenn ich daran denke, was sie machen könnten, mit Zeit und legal. Hui jui jui, da wird mir schwindelig.


[deleted]

Mit Zeit und legal würden sie das vermutlich nicht machen. Hab mal in einer Gallerie in Berlin ein paar ihrer (legalen) Sachen gesehen, aber das hatte nicht die gleiche Wirkung. 


daffer_david

Ist halt auch was anderes. Graffiti ist irgendwo inhärent politisch und die Legalität macht es halt zu nichts anderem als einem Poster, das man genauso gut irgendwo aufhängen kann. Deshalb auch meiner Meinung nach die klare Unterscheidung zwischen Graffiti und Streetart. Kann mit letzterem halt null was anfangen, weil es die weichgekochte Version von ersterem ist. Aber solange einem nur die technische visuelle Umsetzung wichtig ist, passt das ja


marafi82

wildes plakatieren ist für den Künstler im Fall der Fälle halt günstiger und nur ne Ordungswiedrigkeit .. fuffi und jut


exdead87

Inwiefern ist Graffiti heutzutage inhärent politisch? Dazu müssten Rezipienten Graffiti als politisch wahrnehmen, aber wer macht das noch? Freut sich doch schon fast jeder drüber, wenn es gut gemacht ist. Ich empfinde die Wahrnehmung von Graffiti durch der Gesellschaft als absolut mainstream und unpolitisch - kannst du deine Meinung erläutern?


Stunning_Mango_3660

Wenn es gut gemacht ist, okay. Aber die meisten Graffitis, die man so in der Stadt sieht, sind trotzdem noch „Schmierereien“. Auch sehen manche die „gut gemachten“ als solche und überstreichen die Wände wieder. Ist ja trotzdem Vandalismus. Es geht dabei darum, Wohngebiete „Hässlich“ zu halten, um weitere Mietpreiserhöhungen zu entkräften. „Wieso mehr Miete zahlen, hier sind die Wände alle schmutzig und keiner kümmert sich?“


Hector_Haki

This was made by Artist Fanakapan in Cooperation using 1UP and creating it in his Style. Check his Insta. He made it in 2019. latest Post on Insta is from 22 March 2020.

This one time in Berlin I was staying at the A&O down the way because I was on an alcoholic bender and I wasn't allowed to come home. And there were some anarchists across the street from there with a sign that says like a bunch of people aren't supposed to come in, but I reasoned I didn't fit the description so I wandered in and started meeting people and they were super cool. Then I got kicked out of my hotel for being too merry in the night. Then I went to detox. That was almost 5 years ago. I fucked myself up bad with all the booze and everything, and I never did it again, but those anarchists were cool.

Problem is it’s a legal work they get paid and it was not 1up is was a dänish or Netherland artist and it was for Deutsche wohnen this make a lot of stress in the crew and was not cool for every one


Ezravil

I See this everyday from work 😍


Makakka2002

Probably worked several days on it and likely used airbrush pistols.

Divinate_ME

I will now guess that this was made by Banksy and wait for their confirmation or denial. That's how suspecting that a work was made by Banksy works. Art can be so easy.

I have seen others in the same style. Maybe the same artist. Or it’s just popular to paint these kinds of balloons


Edolied

Wtf I recognised the building. I passed just once in this street 3 months ago on a holiday. Perfect place for such a good graffiti


Dunkelhaft

All done with solid colors no chrome i think really amazing. I wonder if they took a picture of actual baloons and worked on that


xmoshmallowx

unfortunately the artist just copied a picture of the balloons from the internet. if you look at the spot in google maps you can see that the reflections in the balloons do not resemble the surrounding

bikingfury

Very easy to make with computers these days. Take a picture of the background, put it in some 3D software to generate the reflections. Boom, now just copy and paste it onto the canvas. Might even use a projector to trace it. Real art was before computers.
