The aim of the project is to gaze into the
depths of the illegal and dangerous manias of
graffiti culture, the lives of graffiti artists, and
their thoughts, and examine their approaches
to painting public transport from trains to the
Danish metro. The book fills a theoretical gap
in the field of graffiti terminology, from the
classification of graffiti and graffiti artists to a
brief history of graffiti and its development to the
illumination of the Slovenian scene.
The book's criminal content is supported by
a comic book story that shows the process
of planning and executing illegal painting. I'm
presenting the subject in a raw, savage, and
pristine way to create an alternative book that
carries a slice of the graffiti scene in Denmark.
Obtaining information about such specific
scenes was not the easiest thing to do. I
included younger and older graffiti artists for
a comprehensive understanding of the culture
and legal provisions. I collected and enriched
the design material with the aim of presenting
it to the general public and illuminating the
underground world of graffiti. The graffiti world
is mysterious, unknown, and often perceived by
the public as a despicable act. With this book,
I want to question readers about what graffiti
is and whether they are graffiti creators who
paint above the law, or do they all just cause
material damage or something more? All this
helps readers fill in the semiotic understanding
of the phenomenon of the concept of graffiti for
themselves.
