che in molti comuni si è affermata contro il writing, alcuni
affermati graffitisti hanno disseminato i luoghi di transito di
alcune città del loro nome, segnato su etichette plastificate
appiccicate ovunque. Le etichette che vedete qui accanto sono
stata raccolte nella metropolitana di Roma e Milano.
The scribbles and writings that we collected in some Italian
“centri sociali” seem to be a clear sign of the different identities
who characterize those places, of the different groups and
cultures that attend them and also of the acceptation/struggle
dynamics they act beyond the formal image. From the collected
signs we can recognize different “creative emergencies”: the
different ways of doing politics, the various cultures on the use
of drugs, some symbols and personal considerations and a big
ironic component.
Another example of creativity as “identity dissociation”, when
“another” identity is willingly created, is the metropolitan
writing.
Lately some famous graffiti authors have plastered their name
on labels that they attached all around the city walls, maybe as
an answer to the repressive attitude of many municipalities
against writing. The tags that you can see here were collected
in the Underground, both in Rome and Milan.
