TILT - Panic Room (Video)

Big Addict recently put together this great short video documenting graffiti writer Tilt giving a hotel room a proper make over. Commissioned by the Marseille based hotel Au Vieux Panier to design a room, he called in some other writers and together they created an amazing concept, turning real graffiti into art that most people can appreciate.

In the words of Tilt: The hotel Au vieux panier asked me to design a room, I first told them that I wasn't interested doing just decoration in the room but I wanted to create something that will look more like an installation. I thought about it also as a huge canvas where I needed to think about the composition and play with the empty white part of the room to accentuate more the idea of Chaos on the other part. Then I asked my friend Tober who gat a great old school style for tags, Grizz who is also the man behind the camera and Don Cho who is a Hip Hop singer from Marseille but who used to be a tagger from my home town Toulouse. It took one week to do the whole thing cause the idea was to exaggerate what you can usually see in some abandoned places. Too much tags, too much drips, too much sentences, too much throw ups ... What I also wanted to show is that people can appreciate any type of graffiti, even the more basic, it's just a matter of point of view ...

The execution and fine details of this project are outstanding. Although I'm late on this one I had to post it incase you haven't seen it. Respect to everyone involved, watch the video below.
