Street artist self-portrait? In a Rome Squat

Click the image to enlarge.

I was filming at this squat earlier this year. It is gigantic in terms of size and you could use up a lot of space on your camera's card snapping the various bits of graffiti and street art. Incredible place.

Pace tra gli oppressi Guerra agli oppressori

"Peace among the oppressed War to the oppressors." This is another shot from the Rome squat I have featured before HERE. There are a lot of political stencils in Rome. In this case it is a straightforward hand written slogan.

Masturbating Hitler and other questions about Tommy Weissbecker Haus, Berlin.

Last year I went to see a band in Berlin. And whilst walking around in Kreuzberg, I spotted this amazing mural on this four storey squat. Named in honour of a Baader Meinhof gang member who died in a police shoot out, this place has been a squat since the 1970s. It was first used by a commercial company to house migrant workers. It then got occupied by homeless people. You can get a flavour of the fascinating history here. What I want to know is

  • How long has this mural been up there?
  • Who was/were the artists behind it?
  • What the hell is the masturbating military figure - Hitler? - all about?
  • How come it never changes?
  • How often is it maintained?
