Berlin’s Most Dangerous Art

We all know that Berlin is a beautiful, but at the same time dangerous city that truly inspires one to break the rules. It’s hard to find a more fitting example of this phenomenon than Berlin Kids, the daring graffiti creators who audaciously climb buildings in areas that we’re used to experience only from below.

We’re usually only left with the various sprayer works placed around town to account for their bold ventures, but on February the 8th, the Berlin-based filmmaker and author Good Guy Boris is going to shed some light on the circumstances under which those urban creations are being produced. Watch the trailer for the film and see some stills from the movie after the jump.

For all of you eager to feel some of the excitement accompanying the fearless graffiti artists on their risky trips, the film is a real treat. Featuring footage showcasing illegal trespassing in buildings and train stations, as well as breathtaking views of the city from the rooftops, it will be published alongside with a book, Grifters Code: Documenting Modern Graffiti Writing, in which Good Guy Boris shares the motives behind the dubiously safe actions of groups of young people aiming to get as high up as they can with as little protection gear as possible. You can get closer info about both the film and the book here.
