“The Czech photographer Josef Koudelka belongs to the tradition of street photography that begins with Cartier-Bresson and Brassai. It is a genre of images snatched from chance encounters with passing strangers, seen against urban backdrops and preserved in memorable form. But for a few days in August 1968, Mr. Koudelka practiced a rarer, more precarious form of street photography, taking pictures inside history, where little is clear, and nothing is still.”
About the Graffiti Taxonomy: “In Graffiti Taxonomy: Paris (2009), over 2,400 graffiti tags were photographed from April 24 to April 28, 2009 from each of Paris’s 20 districts. All photographs were archived, tagged and sorted by letter. The ten most commonly used letters by Parisian graffiti writers were identified for further study (A,E,I,K,N,O,R,S,T and U). From each letter grouping, eighteen tags were isolated to represent the diversity and range of that specific character. These sets are not intended to display the “best” graffiti tags in Paris, but rather the aim is to highlight the diversity of forms ranging from upper case to lowercase, simple to complex and legible to cryptic. Each of the resulting tags were digitally cropped from their surroundings and depicted as solid black on white. The highlighted letter in the tag is enlarged and placed next to the tag from which it originated. All of the eighteen letters in each group are placed into a grid. Stemming from Edward Tufte’s notion of small multiples, the rendering of each character in a similar language and at close proximity emphasizes the differences in form. The resulting set of characters can be viewed on the facade of the Fondation Cartier until November 29th, 2009, or on online here. There are 180 tags in total, each by a different graffiti writer.” (Read more)
