More DescriptionFor over 20 years, since moving to the digital photography format, I have started many conversations with walls across the world. In this book, you will find the outcome of these shared thoughts. You have roughly two parts in this project. First you will find what I call "my paintings" although I will never be a painter. These photographs are fully abstract details I find through my very long walks on walls spread over continents, some in plain sights, others in remote abandoned buildings in even more deserted neighborhoods, where not many ventures.Then I record on pixels the free social art shared by many artists or activists from large graffiti's bearing messages of simple beauty to plain slogans and loud calls asking for a different and better worldThe essay is funny, sad, quite political or critical and needs to be read almost as a city travel guide enlightening you page after page about free art found around any corner or behind any wall, anywhere.Shot from Johannesburg to Tokyo or Chicago, where it all started again, you will find a neat book of 144 pages, using the comic strip format of the fifties (roughly 5.75X8,5 inches - 14,5X22 centimeters) with a well-crafted soft cover with inner flaps.
