About Found some graffiti in a tunnel along a walking path between villiages in the Cinque Terre region of coastal Liguria. This brings up an interesting question that I've had for some time; When does someone else's art become your own? Are we simply documenting what's around us or have we created our own work...sometimes I wonder. At what point has the photographer crossed the line?? What do you think?
This post is dedicated to Kevin Collier, who always manages to put his own stamp on graffiti and found art.
CHEERS!!

Well.... all I know is that we all have something inside us... something we want to bring to the world. So to me it doesnt matter if you've created this on your own or not, the thing is, a man created the art, somebody would document it as you say... but in another beautiful and artful way as well. Which makes you the artist of it itself.... and brings the message to everyone... I love this art very much!

Erik, Nice piece. As to your question..."who's art"? This is your presentation of that piece...your vision. You saw it as worthy and captured it, making it, in a sense...yours. Thanks for your comment on my 'Medusa" image. It was a lot of fun to create.

hi erik,

good capture.. and good question =)

I guess we are really simply documenting things that the other should see. we are the preserver of things that will pass. we are the vultures of the present. someone has to do the things we do.

Hi Erik

If you can give credit to the original....if its street and part of the environment then shoot away. You have not just recorded but captured a piece of life that not everyone sees.

If you bring things to peoples attention that they may not have already noticed or appreciated then its all art..

Good luck

Manu

Yes, it's a question. But i think even the author staying unknowing, it's like you shooting the peace of bldg,architecture or so on and it was done by someone. You didn't make the paint, you didn't choose the color, you just stop the moment, because it's impressed you. I'm not talking generaly about photography, it's just about painting on the wall.
Shot is very interesting, colorful.
Cheers, Larissa

Thanks for the reply Kevin. It's amazing how we all see things so differently through our individual lenses. I think this is what I'm getting at here.
cheers,

Erik you ask a question I ask myself from time to time - am I really a photographer or am I just copying someone else with my found art images - I think that yuo have to put it all in the context of what you do with what you find - how do you frame it? - what do you do with it when you print it? - those are the things that come from your own mind and art - also I think it takes a talented eye (not trying to blow my own horn only making a statement) to see and capture an image like you have here - so many would simply pass it by. I really like what you have captured here - the composition and the colors are fantastic - you framed it you monkeyed (or not) with the color or contrast - those things came from your talented mind - There is no difference between this image and one that a landscape or portrait phographer shoots - they did not create their subject - they only captured it - bravo for thios image and your intelegent and probing question - K

Interesting Paul. I guess nothing really "belongs": to us anyway. As Crazy Horse said, "The earth is our mother. How can we sell our mother?".
cheers,

Christine,
Thanks for the comments. This shot was captured in the fall of 2003 when I was travelling through Liguria. I'd love to go back.
Ciao,
Erik

Well, I think there are major differences between photographing exhibits and street art. If it's on the street, it will NEVER be exhibited, and its up to an observant photographer to share the image with the world.

Does that make this your art? No more than photographing an elephant at the zoo makes it your pachyderm. ;)

I wish the graffiti around here was as artistic as the ones where you are, Erik.

As for your question-- who knows? You have preserved it for .... however long digital images will survive, surely longer than will this particular piece of art-- your capture has artistic merit all it's own. Thanks for sharing this...
