Video interview with pixação street artist L7M

by DEMIAN on FEBRUARY 22, 2013

 

São Paulo street artist, L7M, started painting, pixação, the unique form of Brazilian calligraphic graffiti, eight years ago, and, like many others who are involved in this anti-social practice, mainly from Brazil’s under class, was persecuted for it.

The film, directed by Underground Paris Contributing Editor, Fernanda Hinke, bears witness to L7M creating artwork inside an abandoned factory, and is overdubbed with an interview in which he speaks out against Brazil’s culture of materialism.
