Mr Leenknecht, Hard, Nesh

Okapi 1

The first part of the result from a graffiti jam from 2008. Several talents joined forces to recreate the story about the old zoo that was nearby. The story goes that when the zoo closed in 1887 some animals were served at a banquet, including an elephant. That's why you see elephants, people eating and the text "ready to be slaughtered". 
But... the story is a myth. There was a banquet, but 'only' some bear meat was served.

A part of this wall was tagged and replaced by a new work by Jamie Answord in 2018.

These are underneath the start of a highway. Most of the times there are cars in front of the walls and at some places the wall is crossed...
A project by: graffiti vzw, Stad Gent ...
