When it comes to graffiti in Berlin, the 1UP crew reigns supreme. This prolific group from Kreuzberg has not only made their mark across the city with their daring rooftop rollers and train bombings, but they’ve also taken their art global.
In addition to releasing their own documentary, “1UP Graffiti – One United Power”, showcasing their work in Berlin and around the world, the crew has also established a strong online presence with their dedicated YouTube channel, “1UP Graffiti TV.”
One United Power: A Crew with a Mission
1UP’s philosophy extends beyond simply leaving their mark. As they explain in an interview:
“Hey we are 1UP, which means One United Power, so our goal is our crew, our family, our friendship! In this stupid graffiti world, everything is based on everyone’s ego, and some of us found out that they didn’t have to have their own name to be writers.”
This emphasis on unity and collective creativity sets them apart in a scene often dominated by individual egos.
1UP Graffiti TV: A Global Showcase
Their YouTube channel features nearly 60 short documentary films, providing a glimpse into the crew’s activities and the global reach of their art. From their home turf in Berlin to the streets of Bangkok, Istanbul, Vienna, Oslo, Paris, Copenhagen, Rome, and even Havana, the 1UP crew leaves its distinctive mark.
