the unconscious art of graffitti removal

I so wish that I had thought of this! Sam and Jess had a dvd with shorts, and one of them, created by a friend of Shanti's from college in Portland, is called "the unconscious art of graffitti removal". It includes beautiful urban shots, composing the graffitti removal squares like Mark Rothko paintings against their industrial buildings. She interviews the graffitti removal workers, explaining that their lack of aesthetic consideration is exactly what contributes to artistic value of graffitti removal. The short is also an excuse for a lot of lovely images of gritty, industrial Portland neighborhoods.
