Graffiti

trains
There is ten years of graffiti history riding on Slovenian trains. Since only identification markings, logos and windows get cleaned off, writers have gradually learned to avoid them and pay greater attention to the shape of graffiti to keep them readable. In cities with tighter control and immediate buffing of trains, graffiti soon remain only on photographs and can rarely be seen on moving trains. In Ljubljana, the story is different. You can still run across examples from 2003. Curiously, once you understand the railway system, things are no longer so strained. With time you begin to feel that writing is not that serious and it almost seems allowed. Tourists visiting Ljubljana get the same feeling. Maybe it is because of this and the relaxed atmosphere that so many people come from abroad. It could be said that the entire “underground” graffiti scene has already visited Ljubljana. — 003
