Vomito Attack is a group of different people that express them self with this kind of posmodern ideogram that is call stencil. We work togheter with newspapers and concepts that we find in ours everyday life. Then, we walk around our city, Buenos Aires, painting the walls we believe are the best to make people read and then think about the ideas we express in spray. Once we get the form of our concept the stencil start its own life, that why we keep a photographical pursuit of them and see the different reactions of the walking spectators. Vomito attack is another contemporary moviment that belive in ephemeral art.
