I’ve been taking a picture every day or so of one particular wall on Greene St to make a time-lapse movie of how the graffiti on that wall evolves over time. I’d like to think of it as a documentary of a sort of collectively created art project — lots of different contributions continually added to a living work of art.
It’ll go on for a long time, I hope. But there’s about eight months of material now, so it’s time to see how it’s going so far. Call this “phase 1″:
I’d love to be able to acknowledge all the different individual artists who have added to it over that time. But I don’t know much at all about the art I’ve photographed, just that I like quite a lot of it — “I may not know art, but I know what I like,” as the saying goes. If you know any of the artists who has put their work on this wall, would you please add a note or comment in this Flickr set? Thanks.
Also, I’ve put close-ups of each piece of graffiti here too so you can see each individually and up close.

oh i totally forgot to give credit on the song — thanks for the nudge.
glad you liked it @hartmut. placebo is a great band. the song is “drag” off of the album called “meds”.
