Recently Brandon Bloch and Tim Sessler visited the most excessively tagged bathrooms in Brooklyn and created this, "Dive Art: Brooklyn, NY," out of their journey into "the sublime beauty of everyday spaces." Well, that is a very nice way of thinking about it.
The three minute short features bathrooms from bars in Bushwick, Greenpoint and Williamsburg (and was inspired by the Tumblr Toilets of New York), including The Gutter, Duck Duck, Bushwick Country Club, Anchored Inn, and Pearl's Social. Bloch says, "We were especially excited about how the graffiti looks when shot through a macro lens. The layers of color blend together on top of these old crumbling walls. It's really this organic beauty that's often dismissed as vandalism. But by reframing the subject, what emerges is art on par with what is sold in galleries." Ah, just think about what kind of things those layers contain...
