- Zusatztext
- This book is a rich and innovative photographic essay. It is the result of many walks in the cities of the Americas. It contains more than 50 photographs and short vignettes for each one of them. In addition the book provides an introduction with a short selective history of contemporary street art in the Americas. The concept is to bringcontemporary ready-made street artefacts in contact with the people. The images live on the dialogue between urban everyday life and street art as canvas. They feed on the correspondence of colors, themes, and contexts with the idea to invoke new urban narratives.
