Lost Art: Rage Against the Machine @ Kuala Lumpur

The "Rage Against the Machine" mural was completed in November 2016 by Ernest Zacharevic, a Lithuanian artist who started the street arts revolution in Malaysia in 2012.


I first saw the artwork in July 2017 and really admired it. But, when I revisited Kuala Lumpur 7 years later, the artwork was long gone. It was really a pity!


Rage against the Machine

In "Rage Against the Machine", Ernest Zacharevic had used the dilapidated shell of an old school bus as the subject with school children raging against it. There were supposedly 7 school children, carrying out some actions around the burning bus, but was left with 6 when I found it. A "boy" standing near the rear wheel of the bus was already missing and a wooden pole was left standing in its place.

As the artwork was located in a car park, it was difficult to get a clear shot at it without any cars parking there. So, I made it looked like a parked car had rammed the bus in the photo below. It was fun!

The usual advice for hunting street arts: find them before they are gone!
