Writing since 1989, DAIM is a tireless, multidiscipline graffiti artist whose pieces jump off walls, explode onto canvases, explore natural environments and come to life as sculptures. Creativity and determination allowed DAIM to connect with other artists early in his career, and as a member of international artist collectives such as FX, FBI, SUK and GBF he has become one of the most famous and sought-after graffiti artists in the world, even having earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. This book offers a comprehensive overview of his career while focusing on the years 2000-2004. Selected works are documented step-by-step, compared with preliminary sketches and supplemented with background information.

An outstanding collection which explores the common urban space between street art and graffiti and the highly individualised ways in which both have developed in recent years. The diverse artworks include a vast array of influences: sculpture, painting and drawing as well as everyday objects and stencils. The works draw attention to social conditions, and re-hash the experience of public space - sometimes with humour, sometimes with confrontational politics.
Der vorliegende Band versammelt Beiträge zu politischem Graffiti aus kunst-, kultur- und sprachwissenschaftlicher Perspektive. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Graffiti mit politischen Themen und politischer Wirkungsabsicht, sondern auch um sozio-politische Aspekte von vordergründig unpolitisch erscheinenden Spielarten des Graffiti. Einem weiten Graffiti-Begriff folgend, der auch die Grenzbereiche zur Street Art einschließt, werden Beispiele vom 20. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart interdisziplinär in den Blick genommen und diskutiert. The present volume assembles contributions on political graffiti from an artistic, cultural and linguistic perspective. The volume not only deals with graffiti on political issues and political goals but also with social-political aspects of apparently unpolitical types of graffiti. Following a broader concept of graffiti which also includes the borderlines of street art, samples from the 20th century to modern days are being highlighted and discussed.
British photographer Tariq Zaidi presents a fashion subculture of Kinshasa & Brazzaville: La Sape, Societe des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Elegantes. Its followers are known as 'Sapeurs' ('Sapeuses' for women). Most have ordinary day jobs as taxi-drivers, tailors and gardeners, but as soon as they clock off they transform themselves into debonair dandies. Sashaying through the streets they are treated like rock stars - turning heads, bringing 'joie de vivre' to their communities and defying their circumstances.
