MUR MURS<br />
Agnès Varda<br />
1980 / FRANCE / DOCUMENTARY<br />
while staying in Los Angeles,<br />
Agnès Varda, an incorrigibly<br />
curious stroller, gleans images<br />
of frescoes and murals that<br />
colour the city. Each work has a<br />
story; each artist has his or her<br />
own secrets. On this enjoyable<br />
but nevertheless political<br />
trail, Agnès Varda is (already)<br />
attentive to humanity outside<br />
the mainstream, in what can<br />
be considered one of the first<br />
documentaries on Street Art.<br />
