Barcelona 1000 Graffiti

Barcelona 1000 graffiti is a photo-essay by Rosa Puig about graffiti in Barcelona, a city that's become a meeting place and " concrete canvas " for graffitists from all over the world.

The wide range af graffiti documented in this work is scattered throughout the city, a cause of astonishement and admiration for some, of concern for the authorities, and of despair for the owners of facades irreverently invaded under cover of darkness.

The graffiti collected in this book are found in different areas of Barcelona - from the very central to the most far-flung - and offer very diverses dopics and tones - by turns poetic, socially aware, dissenting - while competing with the customary visual pollution of the city and helping to enricj its landscape.

The photographes reflect the surprised gaze of their author, at once captivated by " graphic pieces " that, as she says, she " would rip off the walls and hang in my house. "
