ALTER EGO
by Daniel Thouw
Germany 2007 MiniDV 62 min. OV Engl. ST

Script: Daniel Thouw, DoP: Daniel Thouw, Production: Thouw Media, with: Askew, Caib, Caligula, Daim, Ewok

Tags, throw-ups and pieces are part of almost every major cityscape around the world, and are more or less part of our everyday life. ALTER EGO takes the audience to major cities around the world and into the lives of some very passionate sprayers standing behind those written identities, walking the borderline between creation and destruction, art and vandalism. The featured artists talk about their justification using public space as a means for their expression, the role of graffiti in an art-historical context and the influence on society of advertisement placed in the most public areas.

The documentary film of Daniel Thouw gives the audience a close inside look into the biggest art movement the world has seen so far, and into an art-form that is not really accepted as such and yet not understood by most people.
