Last week, HoNeT, Gues and SE payed for their Brussels lodging by playing at being professeurs at the ERG art school, Brussels.
Honet started the session off with a talk on one of his graffiti related passions: the Catacombes. He likes going under Paris, to shoot photos of the 300km long galleries containing old inscriptions made by the engineers and catacomb workers over the decades but also graffiti, the earliest dating back to the 80’s.
You can see lots of picts on this old school Honet website, but you have to be lucky and hit Paris in the flickering city menu, which ain’t easy.
Check out some of his travel diaries here.
Otherwise a few catacombe picts can be found here.
