Latrinalia

To say that Mark Ferem has an unusual photographic hobby is a bit of an understatement. Mark believes that "the restroom wall is the last great medium for self-expression." To prove it, he travels the country and documents the graffiti he encounters on bathroom walls. From the purely artistic to the ridiculously sublime, Latrinalia showcases the gems of Mark's collection. Sometimes the messages are designed to amuse, sometimes the scrawlings reek of frustration, but most of the time they're fascinating, right down to the most bitterly ironic ones. Some may just see this as the defacing of public property, but look closely and you'll certainly appreciate the art.
