DECADES Vol. 1 1990-2000: Graffiti Writing in Berlin

Product description

This first volume is the beginning of a trilogy of books (Vol. 2 2000-2010 / Vol. 3 2010-2020) presenting 30 years of graffiti in Berlin. With a selection from thousands of photos, a picture of the development of the graffiti subculture in Berlin emerges authentically. Additionally, a variety of personal texts by the authors give an intimate insight into their experiences and perspectives. On the one hand, these texts convey a vivid picture of life in the Berlin graffiti scene; on the other hand, they allow the reader to experience Berlin as it was in days gone by.

With unresolved police courts and a sometimes disoriented adult world, it creates the ideal breeding ground for what is now probably the largest and most active graffiti scene in the world. The focus is on the application of graffiti on trains, which is also the subject of most of the pictures and texts in the book, but uncensored private pictures and graffiti on walls are also presented.

This first volume contains portraits with many photos and personal texts or comments of the following graffiti authors and crews: BAS2, BOY, CATS, CHILL, CHIO, DEON, DISNE, DMB, DRUM, FOK, INKA, KEL, KMER, KAMEL, LYTE, ODEM, POET62, REW, RUZD, DSYER, SEKD, SHEK, SOME, STEAK, TFB, TOK, TORCH, TOWN, VDS, WEX, and many more.
