It is the product of encounters, as well as of photographic and filmic work. It provides a space for reflection on the discourses surrounding practices that are generally clandestine, and on the criminalization that usually accompanies the examination of these particular urban actors. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile listening to graffiti writers and giving voice to their experiences, Jean-Baptiste Barra and Timothée Engasser seek to challenge the stereotypes associated with these practices and the stigmatization that too often results from them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThrough two complementary and closely connected perspectives, they navigate the urban and mural jungle—whether in the form of tagging in Santiago de Chile or pixação in São Paulo—in order to reveal graphic codes rooted in little-known traditions and cultural legacies. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is little doubt that taggers and pixadores create complex networks in which competition coexists with the sharing of writing practices. Although these practices are often perceived as sources of conflict, they can also generate recognition and belonging. As identity markers of communities formed on the margins of urban space, these words and signatures do not necessarily become slogans, yet they testify to forms of violence embedded within our societies. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the same time, erasure is not the only response adopted by the institutions responsible for protecting public space—the very space against which taggers “rebel.” Alongside the two authors, readers are invited to question the ways in which urban authorities appropriate, reframe, and recycle these graphic interventions, seeking to absorb, alter, or neutralize the critical force contained within them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57847138058575,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/8147\/files\/TimotheeEngasser_Jean-BaptisteBarra-Occupationvisuelle.heic?v=1780502207","url":"https:\/\/www.legrandj.eu\/products\/timothee-engasser-jean-baptiste-barra-occupation-visuelle","provider":"Le Grand Jeu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
