Captions provided by CCTubes – Captioning the Internet! A 40-year old graffiti wall becomes an archaeological site and a sgraffito sculpture as long-gone layers of paint are uncovered and transformed into fireworks of color and shape. The combination of stop motion animation with visceral sounds compresses decades of artistic, political, and cultural expression into a new audio-visual dimension. Driven by frustration with the global rise of toxic ideologies, the artists created this street art metaphor in an earnest attempt to know and understand the past and the present.
