Tran is a Real person here in France. He used to do vandal graffiti in the late 90's early 2000's with the UV TPK crew. He wrote both 'Tran' and 'Trane' You can find some videos and documentaries about him/the crew on youtube or dailymotion

I don’t mind if it’s well done, but we know that will never happen. Some of these guys create beautiful art. It’s like everything else, there’s always someone there to EFF’ things up.
This should be titled *Lessons in Self-Snitching;* he surely blew up his spot if nothing else, but they sure know how to catch him now. What a doof. Good letters tho.
yea this documentary is around 15 years old by now and it's rumored that hermes passed away. So I doubt much had changed for him but the principal is true
Lol you think one little documentary from a 15 year old spot is going to do anything? Bro this spot probably doesn't even exist anymore. Even if it does, there's a trillion other places to go. There's a million tunnels and they all look the exact same as what they showed in this video. You think anyone's bothering to set up shop and try and catch people that go to that exact one now? they already know people are doing this. The halls are already as vacant as they can be. There's better things to do than spend money trying to nab every single person walking down there at night. The only doof is you. This guy has definitely long since moved on to different areas and the ones shown in this video already looked heavily tagged anyway. Get some brains.
No harm? The subway line gets shut down every time an alarm goes off in the tunnels, 1000's of people sitting on a stopped train won't see it as no warm. Plus it's against the law! @@stickpig7443

c'est nul, un ado qui écrit son pseudo sur les murs avec de la peinture. Avec au passage la destruction de matériel.... Rien d’impressionnant. Un sujet de bobo underground...
This is why I really hate most of these so called artists, who make the world more "colourful", painting respectless on 100year old trains and other nice architecture. No doubt, painting on conrete is great but not on other forms of art.
I would agree with you if that train was in a museum, but instead it was just hidden away to rust in a dark corner. Ironically, the graffiti artists probably care more about this train that anyone else, because they're the only people who make an effort to visit it.
Real writers don't call themselves "artists". Graffiti was born like this and you might not agree with it, but ultimately, your opinion means nothing to them. Calling yourself a graffiti "artist" is just corny. They do graffiti for other writers.
well you have to stand back and think that if the ones who own stuff like the old train dont clean it (especially with stuff from the 1990s still) then they dont have any respect for it either
Graffiti = HORRIBLE SECURITY I think you should probably think about how he was able to get away with it, and blame the security instead of the artists.
respect to the camara man too lol
You can tell he’s a real one cuz he didn’t go over any of the old stuff on the train, he has respect for the old style

tag graffitis la guerre souterraine
English version is Graffiti: hidden game

If trane was a real person than it would’ve been gone over and buffed long before hermes came along. Marc ecko is like 50+. Dudes from the 80s

instead of citing this guy they should pay him to find security problems and holes in the fence. now im sure there are cameras everywhere
