SERBIA: GUINNESS RECORD LONG GRAFFITI WALL
Local artists and graffiti writers from Germany, Italy and neighboring Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina joined the event in Kragujevac - central Serbia. They made the longest wall graffiti in the world in a public park in Kragujevac. The members of the international exchange group "New Graffiti Age 2", after 23 consecutive hours of work, made a world record - 605 meters long, 2 meters high graffiti. The artists topped the previous record of 507 meters held by Norwegian graffiti artists in a Guinness world record category "Longest graffiti scroll".
The graffiti, carried out on a support of recycled material, which can be removed if needed, required the use of 700 bottles of spray paint in different colours. The authors wrote on it anti-nationalistic and anti-fascist slogans, as well as symbols and messages of peace. Without forgetting the ironic rewording of a quotation as well-known as it is old-fashioned: "Graffiti painters from all over Europe, unite!".
