Synopsis

A graffiti wall in Vienna becomes an archeological site and a sgraffito sculpture, as skrffologists reveal hundreds of layers of colorful paint representing decades of artistic, political and cultural expression. By carving through the layers, these street artists compress decades into seconds with stop-motion, documenting traces of the past made visible in the present. Though the full history can’t ever be seen clearly, the artists hope that juxtaposing physical abstractions of time can sharpen their view for the future.
