Criminal Damage Art

A photographic collage depicting graffiti around Newcastle upon Tyne across two days in July 2020. The photographs depict a range of high and low forms of wall art, while asking, ‘Graffiti, art or vandalism’?. The repetitive tags question if identify based graffiti is territorial or part of a community spirit? Is there an inherent social need to make one’s mark? And what is our relationship with the environment we inhabit? The film is dated to the 1st & 2nd July to emphasise that graffiti is a temporary art. If this project was repeated any later, the same landscapes and subjects would have changed. A photographic collage depicting graffiti around Newcastle upon Tyne across two days in July 2020.
