This is a perfect piece of street art, as "ephemer", transient as it gets.
The style is familiar, I met this guy two years ago, he was going in high school, aged 17 or so. He often works in the 7th district, (the Jewish district) drawing big faces around ununderstandable street phenomena.
The work deals with the situation of this district from the street artist’s point of view: we are powerless – have no voice, just like this house, the windows of which are tiled from inside. Beyond the potential political hint it refers to human existence in general.
I'm reminded to a work of art I have seen in Berlin, in the Hamburger Bahnhof contemporary arts Museum. If I remember good it was made by Joseph Beuys. It was a half meter X half meter concrete cube including a tape recorder that was playing a casette with a women's scream looped.
