Paris Characters – Karim Boukercha

Interviews with 45 major artists from the Parisian graffiti scene.
Format 20 x 25 cm / 248 color pages / Hardcover [2004]

This book breaks with the habit of Graffiti fans and journalists to consider that photos of works and frescoes are enough, that graffiti-artists have nothing to say about their works, their career or their art. Mode2, Jay, N°6, Lokiss or Alex, among others, agreed to answer interviews and allowed Karim Boukercha to be able to include a number of unpublished works in this book. About 600 visuals come to illustrate it. More than forty interviews and as many different visions as to the character's place in graffiti.
