Decades 3 2010-2020

‘DECADES VOL. 3 2010–2020’ is the final instalment of the renowned encyclopaedic trilogy charting thirty years of graffiti’s evolution in the German capital, once again edited by Peter Stelzig. This impressive 328-page hardback book presents a carefully curated selection from thousands of photographs, offering a detailed overview of the trainwriting movement over the past decade. Technically, the author pushes beyond traditional boundaries by using powerful telephoto lenses to capture, from unprecedented distances and with breathtaking perspectives, the painted trains in transit on the iconic elevated U1, U2 and U3 lines between Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg. The rich visual content, featuring over 900 photographs, is interspersed with thematic chapters and bilingual (German and English) in-depth articles packed with intimate anecdotes from legendary local writers and crews such as BOKS, LION, JEICO, SIEGER and RWRZ. Highly recommended.
