ULTRA focuses on the figure of the solitary tagger. The one who operates in the shadows, without an audience, without reward, but with an obsession for the letter and the trace. This book highlights the parallels between the fervor of ultras and that of taggers: total commitment, clandestinity, passion, a duty of memory. Just as supporters’ stands fill stadiums with chants and colors, taggers saturate urban space with their signatures.
KOP explores this desire to occupy space, to leave a mark, to exist within chaos. Through documentary images and personal writing, this volume delves into the collective dimension of vandalism, somewhere between the aesthetics of shock and urban poetry.
A boxed set of two photo books, KOP and ULTRA, dedicated to the practice of vandal tagging.
