The book Kunst, weisch by Tina Uhlmann sharpens the eye for urban sights. It illustrates how illegal street art has not only conquered the outskirts of the city since 2000, but also the center - and thus society.
The volume presents over 300 images covering a period of more than 20 years, offering a unique insight into the development of these urban art forms. Three detailed hot-spot city maps make it possible to discover the most striking works of art.
It raises fundamental questions: What defines art? Who owns public space?
The book is not only a visual contribution to the discussion, but also a multifaceted kaleidoscope. It also contains an interview with RosyOne, the Swiss graffiti pioneer with an international reputation.
The author Tina Uhlmann was born in Zurich (Switzerland) in 1968 and works as a journalist in Bern (Switzerland). She is co-founder and editor of the Bern-based publishing house "Sage Und Schreibe - Unser Verlag".
