Τα graffiti της Κρίσης: Οι εικόνες από τους τοίχους της Αθήνας που κάνουν το γύρο του πλανήτη (PHOTOS)

Η κατάσταση της χώρας μας και η κρίσιμη καμπή στην οποία έχει περιέλθει αποτυπώνονται με γκράφιτι και στους δρόμους της πτρωτεύουσας...
Μάλιστα δεν είναι λίγα τα ξένα μέσα που κάνουν αφιέρωμα στα.... γκράφιτι της  Κρίσης, όπως τα χαρακτηρίζουν. Δείτε μερικά από τα πιο χαρακτηριστικά στο AthensMagazine.gr

Nein: The Germans are seen to be the main aggressors towards Greece by the country's residents, and a lot of the graffiti plays on this

Artistic: This image, similar to Bansky's Girl and Balloon, shows a child in a Greek flag shirt reaching for a euro sign that is blowing away

Voice: the graffiti on the surfaces around Athens displays a wide range of views on what people want to happen following the current crisis. This one suggest Greece adds a bit of part spirit to Europe, and the continent would be duller without it

Heading for disaster? Greece has said it is unable to pay back its debt, and has refused to accept the latest bailout deal. This piece of graffiti shows a car with a Greek flag disappearing off the crumbling cliff of the euro sign

Euro-Disney: German Chancellor Angela Merkel currently features heavily in the graffiti scrawled on the walls around Athens in GreeceThe city's walls have undoubtedly become a place for debate

Anger: There is a lot of anti-European sentiment in Greece, with many thinking the country needs to fight back

The end of an era: This piece suggests the euro - shaped like a coffin - in Greece is heading towards the grave

Funny: Some of the graffiti lacks artistic merit, but makes up for it in humour - like this message to the German chancellor

'Cut the debt': This graffiti outside the University of Athens urges the International Monetary Fund to 'go home' next to a pair of scissors

Political: Some of the murals around the city can certainly be classed as works of art, or, at the very least, interesting political commentary

Intricate: A man walks past graffiti depicting a 'National Republic of World' bank note. 'U are machine parts' is also scrawled on the wall

Resentment: Some of what is written shows the feeling still held towards the Germans following the Nazi invasion. The writing next to this cashpoint says 'better poor with the drachma than a slave with the euro', and compares the euro sign to the swastika

Civilisation: People walk past a painting of an ancient statue wearing a crown of thorns, which is causing it to bleed

Developed: Some of the graffiti has clearly moved beyond the original piece, with others adding their own thoughts

Clear: A simple message embodies how many feel. 'Political graffiti is right, it’s a way to express indignation,' Despoina Stefoudi explained

Fears for the future: The worries face in between scraps of a euro note, and flashes of the EU flag, could suggest the concern some feel

Telling the tale: Street artist iNo has said 'If you want to learn about a city, look at its walls'
Timely: This piece suggests captures the debate leading up to Sunday's referendum, which was won by the 'No' votewww.athensmagazine.gr
