VANDALS IN PARIS
by Antoine Flandrin & Thomas Von Wittich
In the fall of 2019, Paris' walls were covered with graffiti, faces, abstract shapes and slogans. The city of lights formed an open-air art gallery. Franco-American journalist Antoine Flandrin and German photographer Thomas Von Wittich decided to capture this moment of effervescence. Throughout 2020 and 2021, they followed about fifty urban artists in the streets of Paris. The result of this work is Vandals in Paris, a book of interviews in French and English illustrated with black and white action photos that show a diversity of approaches, backgrounds and styles. This journey through the streets of Paris features Feito, Dérape, Lady.K, Dystur, Skame, Sun7, Retro, Seth, Mglo, La Fleuj, Nargue, Stesi, Lek, Katre, Ox, Madame, Slice, Druide, Dize, Funco, 3DT/CKT, Keag&Sore, Frez, K7, Kraken, Ecilop, Toile, Puls, Skeo, Staze, Ikarus, Oscoruru, Joz, Levalet, Vermibus, Nake, Pö, TS-HO, Douceur Xtreme, Jore, Amef, Rez1.

À l'automne 2019, les murs de Paris étaient couverts de graffitis, de visages, de formes abstraites et de slogans. La ville des lumières formait une galerie d'art à ciel ouvert. Antoine Flandrin, journaliste franco-américain, et Thomas Von Wittich, photographe allemand, ont décidé de capturer ce moment d'effervescence. De novembre 2019 à avril 2021, ils ont suivi une cinquantaine d'artistes urbains dans les rues de Paris. Il en résulte Vandals in Paris, un livre d'entretiens en français et en anglais illustrés de photos d'action en noir et blanc qui montrent la diversité des approches, des parcours et des styles. Ce volume de 340 pages met en avant Feito, Dérape, Lady.K, Dystur, Skame, Sun7, Retro, Seth, Mglo, La Fleuj, Nargue, Stesi, Lek, Katre, Ox, Madame, Slice, Druide, Dize, Funco, 3DT/CKT, Keag&Sore, Frez, K7, Kraken, Ecilop, Toile, Puls, Skeo, Staze, Ikarus, Oscoruru, Joz, Levalet, Vermibus, Nake, Pö, TS-HO, Douceur Xtreme, Jore, Amef, Rez1.
