Hacking the city, making it a vast playground: street art offers a step aside, a subversion of the gaze on familiar places. Artists adept at urban diversion have the art of detecting a silhouette in a banal pole, an ice floe at the edge of a sewer, a window in a brick wall. They know how to transform an advertising space into a poetic parenthesis, to give birth to a smile of a signboard. They have not forgotten the daydreams of childhood, and build a story on a tiny detail. Through 7 thematic chapters and 21 portraits of artists, this book offers a new look at this movement that since the 1970s has been taking urban space by storm. He takes us in the footsteps of these everyday scenographers, who have lightness and humor as their preferred mode of expression. Subversion is joyful: it merges with the freedom to reinvent the world at each time. step.
