DECADES vol.1 1990-2000 Graffiti Writing In Berlin

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 of thousands of photos, an authentic picture of the development of the graffiti subculture in Berlin is created. In addition, various personal texts by the authors provide an intimate insight into their experiences and perspectives. On the one hand, these texts convey a very vivid picture of life in the Berlin graffiti scene and, on the other, they allow the reader to experience the Berlin of days gone by. The first issue shows writers and crews between 1990 and 2000, when the fall of the Wall triggered the graffiti boom in Berlin. In the aftermath, a huge adventure playground opened up for Berlin writers, with unresolved police cases and a sometimes disoriented adult world creating the ideal breeding ground for what is now probably the largest and most active graffiti scene in the world. The focus is on the use of graffiti on trains, which is also the subject of most of the images and texts in the book, but uncensored private images and graffiti on walls are also presented. This first volume contains portraits with many photos and personal texts and comments of the  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. The book also contains mixed catpages with hundreds of photos of many graffiti writers and crews from the 90s.
