Text & film:  Solal Fakiel

Presentor:  Ashley Moser

Status: Building demolished/ 

A forgotten squat and a walk with Ashley in downtown Tel Aviv...

 

​I call Ashley Moser ' "Ashleypedia" and you will soon understand why. He's kind of my guru around town.. At least street-art-wise.,, He gave me a tour, an introduction to the scene. it's still a small one for now so it's easy to follow. Before this, i barely knew anything about the streetart scene in tel aviv.  i wanted to share this with you. Walking into squat is unusual, we are  not experts. we were too curious that's all.

Welcome to the "Ben Atar" squat!

Protected by tall construction fences, at the corner of florentine and ben atar street, a large 'Dede' cought our attention. a huge bandaid painted on a cloth covering the façade made us want to discover what was hiding inside. armed with cameras and ice cream we penetrated the sanctuary...

                               

                                 Just Press Play!

 

 

 

Featuring works of:  Klone, Dede Bandaid, Kipi, Zerocents, 035crew, unknown artists, a narcoman passing by, Dioz, Wonkey Monky, Latzi, Signor gi, foma and more...

 

it's a 30min video, 15'in the squat / 15'outside. and it was my 1st movie ever edited. so it's kind of 'cute' (whatever...)

what else to say?: A first of it's own, a 30min doco about Tel Aviv's street art and it's artists. Ashley and I met at the 'Ben atar squat', an abandoned buikding in the heart of Florentine. We decided to walk in to catch a little bit of street art history before it's demolished. Then we carried on visiting the south of Tel Aviv...
