Tο γκράφιτι που κάλυψε το Πολυτεχνείο και έγινε σημείο αναφοράς

Σε σημείο αναφοράς της πόλης εξελίχτηκε αμέσως το ασπρόμαυρο γκράφιτι που εμφανίστηκε και καλύπτει το κτίριο του Πολυτεχνείου. Πολλοί περαστικοί σταματούν και το μελετούν, άλλοι το φωτογραφίζουν, ενώ τα ερωτήματα που τους προκαλεί η έντονη παρουσία του γίνονται κάποιες φορές αιτία να μιλήσουν άγνωστοι μεταξύ τους.
Σε άλλους αρέσει και σε άλλους όχι όπως είναι φυσικό.
Θεωρείται ότι είναι το μεγαλύτερο παράνομο έργο μοντέρνας τέχνης που έχει γίνει από γκραφιτάδες στην Αθήνα, και λέγεται ότι το υπογράφει η ομάδα «Icos & Case».
Ο προϊστάμενος της Εισαγγελίας Πρωτοδικών διέταξε τη διενέργεια κατεπείγουσας προκαταρκτικής εξέτασης για το εκτεταμένο γκράφιτι στους τοίχους του ιστορικού κτιρίου, που θα αναζητήσει τους υπαιτίους για την διάπραξη του αδικήματος της «διακεκριμένης φθοράς σε αντικείμενο που χρησιμεύει για κοινό όφελος».

However, the "praying hands" on the wall of the hotel, not turn to pray to God, as in 1506, but down. It's like God himself is praying to save this city and its inhabitants.

Les Miserables of Athens

Below the Acropolis, just meters from the station and Monastiraki Square, behind the lights, next to the luxury hotel, some people have found shelter to spend their night in the street. It is the wretched of the city.

They are the ones, for whom we have no tolerance to look at them, straight in the eyes.
