The Death of Graffiti

Constructed around a polemical text on the practice of graffiti, the book gathers several theoretical essays on the discipline and its history. The cover, printed in red and metallic chrome, is a play on the time-honoured practice of covering existing graffiti (also called “toying”) and echoes the way the texts all respond to the first document. The composition takes up all the space available on the book cover, as it would on a wall.
The softcover with dust jacket has 352 pages and measures 14×22,5 cm. It was edited by Jo Preußler and Cogitatio•Factum and is in German language. It was published by Possible Books in September 2017.
The cover was designed by Bureau Brut. The typefaces used are our Lebreton and Brut Grotesque on the cover, with Totentanz and Ostia Antica inside.
