angels and demons
Graffiti provokes a response.
Emotional. Visceral. Basic. A cry.
These belgradestreets; the people who live, love and work here, provoke me.
Graffiti enrages, captures, beguiles us.
I’d like to share a line of poetry, and a heartfelt thank you…
“For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror
which we are still just able to endure,
and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us.
Every angel is terrifying.”
Poetry from Duino Elegies by Rainer Maria Rilke, The First Elegy
Nowhere to hide
The harder path
Pipe dreams
Mine, all mine
Hope is never lost
Terrible angel
Nice shots!!!
Thanks, love to capture the graffiti here on belgradestreets!
Great combination of words and images. You really capture the power of graffiti here.
Thank you, one of my favourite subjects!
They keep changing – are they? I haven’t seen the first one in January.
There is always something new there, documenting the graffiti on belgradestreets could be the work of a lifetime…
I think you are right!
Good shots, Andy. Graffiti can be engaging and beautiful sometimes!
Mike, thank you, photographing this, and making a point, is hard as it is a “tourist” destination here…so appreciate your comment…
