Description

This book represents the most comprehensive collection of all of DAIM's artwork through 25 years of his career. DAIM is a German artist active in the writing scene for a quarter of a century. DAIM's works are comprised of the construction, as well as the deconstruction of a word. His graffiti can be seen as a word-formation that is constantly threatening to reassemble, denying access, escaping the demands of tangibility and, thereby, remaining free and sovereign.

Reviews

"[The] use of the name DAIM is becoming more and more complex. I perceive it as a kind of self-portrait -- my entire personality has impact on the works. My development as a human being strongly corresponds to my development as an artist."
