The voice of the public, put on the walls, exaggerated without any borders and limits, these are graffitis. In Vienna there are many places where you find them.

3. The Idea The voice of the public, put on the walls, exaggerated without any borders
and limits, these are graffitis. In Vienna there are many places where you find
them. Some legal, some wildly sprayed but not legal using public spaces
beyond the provided “Graffiti-Areas”.
I don’t see it as my duty to judge if a graffiti is legal by means of being on a
legal wall, or what the message is. For me it’s a documentation of great
graffitis in Vienna.
This is the first book about Vienna’s Streetlife, since graffitis are permanently
renewed and overpainted, this series of books might never end.
Most photographs where taken along the “Donaukanal” - easy found at

Idea & Photos

4. Chapter 1
Faces
Graffiti-faces mostly look very funny. Here you’ll find
a selection of “hot” faces directly from the Vienna
Streetlife scene.

14. Chapter 2
Details
A graffiti tells a story, thus transports a message.
These disclosures comprise sometimes out of
single words, word groups, phrases or sentences;
occasionally they are released as signs, drawings or
symbols.

25. Chapter 3
Stencils
Hit & run - within seconds a stencil is on the wall,
thus delivering the message. The diversion of the
expressions is very wide, here you’ll find some
“straight forward” stencils, the more controversial
subjects I have added a separate chapter.

35. Chapter 4
Controversial
Some of the statements found on the walls are
taking up subjects rather unmannerly, unmerciful
even vicious.
There are no borders, no limits, religion, politics,
every day life - freedom of speech - and - freedom
of thought - these are displayed here.
