Daim 1989 Synopsis

"These are my letters. This is my name. This my work." - Mirko Reisser (DAIM) DAIM, described as "The King of 3-D style writing", is one of the most revolutionary graffiti artists of all time.

This book offers the opportunity to experience the most complete and extensive collection of his works to date. In 1989, DAIM sprayed his first piece on a feeder pillar outside of his parents' house. Now, in Mirko Reisser [DAIM]: 1989 - 2014, he reflects on a fascinating artistic career that has spanned the last 25 years.

Off the grid and into the gallery - by tracing the evolution of his work from illegal street art and vandalism, spray-painting walls and buildings during his early career, to the more recent large-scale museum installations, this book offers a never-before-seen insight into the development of the artist through an extensive collection of murals, canvases, sculptures, graphics and tapings. Of the 300 images included in this book, some have never been published whilst others grant an exclusive behind-the-scenes insight into DAIM's intricate production process.
