Au nom du nom ; Les surfaces sensibles du graffiti

Au nom du nom ; Les surfaces sensibles du graffiti – Bringing together for the first time some forty historic and emerging international artists, Au nom du nom. Les surfaces sensibles du graffiti deploys documentary photography, atmospheric photography, action photography, an intimate archive, pictorial photography and police photography. From Los Angeles to Paris, via London and Sao Paulo, the book stretches out a negative view of graffiti, seen here as revealing what life doesn’t want to see.
Au nom du nom is not a book of photographs of graffiti, but shows how the graffiti scene has been traversed by photography. Graffiti is a feeling, an affect, an attitude, a modus operandi. Graffiti is a mental, obsessive and physical relationship with the margins. Graffiti is an original form of writing, that of the shadows of prehistory and childhood.
