About the book
For seven years, photographer and psychotherapist Caroline Jensen has travel led back and forth between Stockholm and New York to photograph graffiti writers. Faces of Graffiti shows intimate portraits of writers that Caroline Jensen has established a deep and personal connection with. The book portrays New York graffiti pioneers who began writing in the late 1960s, writers who grabbed the baton and established graffiti in Stockholm in the 1980s, and younger writers who have further developed the graphic design of graffiti. To understand how graffiti affects writers' lives, Caroline Jensen asked them about their driving forces. Rooted in her work as a psychotherapist, she reflects on self-development and the role graffiti plays in the lives of the writers. Charmin 65, Nic 707, Riff 170, Rubin, Snake 1, Kaos, Shiro and Taki 183 are some of the artists portrayed in the book, accompanied by images of their graffiti art.
