Lala look-alikes have been reported all over Europe since Lala’s disappearance last July. Many say she simply went French and took the entire month of August off. However, once photos surfaced of Lala in Berlin, Germany, Based on a Fact booked a flight to catch up with the artist.
Based on a Fact met with Lala in a Berlin park where she was painting a new, rather risqué art piece, inspired by a graphic novel by Manara. When asked about her abrupt decision to travel to Berlin, Lala replied, “I felt like I needed to get away from Paris and all its Disneyland-like wonder. Leave the dream and lick the floor, if you know what I mean.”
Graffiti Paparazzi, Berlin
Lala gave Based on a Fact a personal tour of the city where she explained some of her favorite pieces.
ROA, Berlin
ROA, a Belgian street artist was among a few. Lala explained that ROA travels to cities around the world and depicts the animals that are indigenous to that immediate region.
Based on a Fact was pleased to be invited to a stencil workshop with Lala where she and fellow street artists
discussed techniques from stencil making to graffiti/building repelling. “I came to learn, to exchange ideas with other artists. Berlin is a city in motion, always changing. It feels like anything is possible here. It’s electric and real. Like the slogan says, poor, but sexy.”
Word still not out on Lala’s next move. The artist seems to have fallen in love with the underground city. Will she return to Paris? Based on a fact will keep you updated as we await Lala’s decision between wine and beer.
