Who owns the city? A question to which graffiti sprayers and politicians give different answers. 1UP and Moses & Taps are international giants of the scene, their actions spectacular, their artistic concepts radical. The art critic Larissa Kikol accompanied them for three years on their nocturnal forays and processed their experiences in this book, which has become a unique homage to the graffiti scene. The book is a making-of of her works in the field of tension between civil disobedience, breaking the law and the freedom of nevertheless. Kikol travels across Germany and describes different worlds in gripping dialogues: the legal and the illegal art world, between painting and protest. Always on the go and on the verge of being discovered and arrested. A journey behind the borders of permitted art into subway tunnels, onto rooftops and sidings. In the process, a portrait of Germany and Berlin and the power relations that affect our society emerges.
