Tule je še en primerek - avtorica komentira, da gre za underground arhitekturno policijo :-) http://fontafont.blog.siol.net/2010/03/07/grdo/ ...

Thanks for sharing here, Larisa. These type of graffiti are often challenging to read - I wondered why this is so, thought perhaps the idea is to hide the message... then somebody enlightened me that the idea is to play with the form of letters rather than spread readable messages to the world....

| Comment: | Comment: People constantly resort to nature, trying to control it and diminish its importance. False values represent our life and goals. We want to facilitate our life, but we are just complicating it and it becomes increasingly stressful. The black tree means dead nature, the decline of values that make us happy. The dogs represent a struggle for survival in our careers and in the nature. Nature reacts to our maltreatment with natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes. We should be more respectful to nature and better care for it, since it is the only source of our life. |

| Graffiti text: | I am Alyona Kutsan.I am 14 years old.
I am from Russia.I live in the town of
Krasnokamsk. There are some walls in it that are talking!
What is this wall talking about?
I think in such a way:
there are many nice cities and towns in
our country. The nature is rich. But there
are many plants and factories. Unfortunately some of them pollute the air and the water.

| Comment: | This is also a stencil. It says: Dare to be different. It shows a groups of sheep. They're all black, just one is white. It represents our society where everyone tries to fit in, be the same as everyone else. That is a common social phenomenon, not to stand out too much so as not to attract unwanted attention. I think the author is trying to tell the public that being different is okay. |

| Comment: | This is yet another stencil. It says something like: Because we are not goods. It was probably made during the protests about the minimum wage and working hours of factory workers. The working class stood up and marched around the city in hope of convincing the government that the new legislation about the topic was nonsense and that it violated basic working rights. Fine. |

| Comment: | This graffiti says: Tuitions, no thank you. It is one of the many graffiti on this topic that you can find in Ljubljana and other parts of Slovenia. Most of them appeared when the tuitions were one of the political issues and the government wanted to change the legislation about it. The students resisted, there were protests and the graffiti were just one way to express how we felt |
