Doomsday of Graff

City Copenhagen, Country Denmark
Year 2019
Writer Christ - Sancho - Cave

Christ, Sancho and I had the idea for this carriage because the old 2nd-generation S-train was being phased out. There was really an ambition to paint the last old trains, because they had such good flat surfaces.

We thought the new S-trains, which had curved sides, were impossible to paint on. So we were convinced that graffiti on S-trains would die a slow death. So we wrote 'Doomsday of Graff' and painted a tombstone for each of the Copenhagen S-train lines.

The title is incidentally inspired by the British hip-hop group Hijack, who wrote a song with the title 'Doomsday of Rap.'
