The book "Monumental Graffiti" analyzes the concept of graffiti as a form of public art and political expression in modern society. Anthropologist Rafael Schacter explores the material, communicative, and contextual aspects of graffiti and monuments, offering a timely perspective on art, politicization, and the city today.
The writing suggests examining graffiti as a monument and the monument as graffiti, in order to challenge the power structures and narratives that are included or excluded from public space. With 20 years of empirical research in graffiti, the book includes works by renowned graffiti artists such as 10Foot, Delta, and Revok, as well as artists like Francis Alys and Cy Twombly.
With 400 pages and rich illustrations, this work is highly engaging and explores graffiti as a monument and vice versa, offering an extensive ethnographic analysis.
