After those [flood stencil artworks in Brisbane](/urban-flood-art-above-in-brisbane/), you can now find what I would call street art philosophy in Melbourne: More or less profound, large-scale fat-cap slogans on walls... Slogans like *“Losing all of your fortune is much less painful painful than losing only half of it!!!”*, *“Academia is to knowledge what prostitution is to love”* or *“Trust people who make a living lying down or standing up more than those who do so sitting down”* encourage people to think, although or better because of the final sense seems to be not that clear... Nevertheless it is a nice way to communicate with people. Probably one of you can explain at least one of these slogans to me... ![Above losing philosophy]() Above losing philosophy ![Above philosophy]() Above philosophy Info via [vandalog.com](http://blog.vandalog.com/2011/04/above-in-melbourne/), photos by [Above](http://goabove.com).
