Reverse Graffiti, Also Known As Clean Tagging, Dust Tagging, Grime Writing, Green

Reverse graffiti involves temporarily removing dirt or grime from surfaces like walls to create images. It is also called clean tagging, dust tagging, or green graffiti. While its origins are unknown, early examples include using a finger to write in car dirt or an artist named Moose using detergent and wire brushes to create large-scale designs by removing dirt from pavements and walls in 2004. The first recorded large reverse graffiti piece was a 1000 foot long work in 2006 in São Paulo that was soon washed away.

Reverse graffiti, also known as 

clean tagging, dust tagging, grime


writing, green graffiti or clean advertising, is a method of creating
temporary or semi-permanent images on walls or other surfaces by
removing dirt from a surface. A simple example of Reverse Graffiti is using
a wet finger to write “Wash Me” on the back of a dirty car . Others, such as
graffiti artist Moose, use a cloth or a high-power washer to remove dirt on a
larger scale.

Up to now, the origin of Reverse Graffiti is not known, The first recorded
large scale reverse graffiti art piece was made by Alexandre Orion in 2006.
The intervention was called Ossario (ossuary) and was over 1000 feet long.
The municipality of São Paulo washed it away shorty after.

English Reverse Graffiti Artist Moose is one of the first street artists to


make an art piece using the reverse graffiti technique. He discovered the
technique at his dishwashing job, and in 2004 used detergent and a wire
brush to create designs in the dirt on pavements and walls in Leeds and
Manchester.[1][2]
