As promised in the previous instalment, here’s the second part of my photo essay about Marseille’s street art.
Graffiti are, without a shadow of a doubt, the main actor on the stage that are the Panier’s walls. But it’d be wrong to limit one’s analysis only to them because there’s a lot more to see: namely, stencilled messages and manifests. The former, as I’ve learned in Italy and Turkey, can be quite political; the latter, instead, are usually more artistic or work as adverts for parties, shops or other events.

A whole building had been covered in wallpaper depicting black rubber ducks. I’m sure there’s a message here, just don’t know which one.

The tiny door on the right is the entrance of a print shop; the fish, one of their recurring subjects

A musical window. Sticked around the frame, unfortunately soaked in rain water, were the scores of what looked like popular folk songs.

Here and there one can find scribbled messages. I have my blog, Marsellais have their city’s walls, I presume.
