This edition is dedicated to the appearance of the Hamburg graffiti scene in the 1980s and 1990s. In 560 pages and with over 1,300 mostly color images, it presents exclusive photographic series and authentic excerpts from graffiti artists who were active during that era. Essays by recognized authors explore graffiti as a widespread subcultural phenomenon, while also shedding light on the practices of reclaiming public urban spaces, completing the extensive depiction. The four curators, who have been deeply rooted in the graffiti scene for over 30 years, provide an authentic perspective on the origins of this subculture, which has since evolved into a global artistic movement.
