Point - Message for future; Těšnov, Praha 2007

Since 1996 I have been painting the Tesnov wall almost every year. It is very special, nowhere in the world have I seen such a wall. It is almost impossible to photograph it, because it waves and the further it moves to the right the higher it gets. It is located in the city center, so it is seen by thousands of people every day. That's why I often write messages.

"This Point is for all my people in the year 2222. Těšnov used to be a forgotten parking lot in the center of Prague, where people like me came to paint graffiti on their own expense.
I used to do what I liked, I used to paint what I wanted. And I was very happy doing so, if you know what I mean?
So what is the future like? ...the presence?!
Have all the glaciers already melted? Is the ozone hole already mad big, did we already run out of oil, do people still kill each other?!
And what about you?!? Do you still smoke the good old weed? Or do you just live in virtual reality with your arm attached to IV's and you don't even know what it means to go for a beer or take your girlfriend to the cinema?
I hope you are doing well!

Greetings from the year 2007.
