Archive that compiles more than two decades of Chusky’s graffiti on streets, rooftops, tunnels and wagons in different cities.

The book is about a photographic documentation that revolves around the last 23 years of Chusky/Yksuhc’s activity and his compulsive dedication to graffiti writing. The images show the capture of the contextual and graphic aspects of the practice, where different facets of its activity converge to be shared in a compilation that allows to visualize several stages of a vast production.

Most of this personal archive, up to this point, had been kept on the sidelines, free of mediation.

This wide selection of images makes visible how he has developed his work, from the most basic writing, references and learning patterns, to more mature stages, where the pieces acquire pictorial finishes that are largely far from the conventional and the letters begin to coexist with a particular universe populated by strange beings and hybrid creatures.

In this period (1998-2021) it has deployed its activity on rooftops, train cars, railways, Metro tunnels, and on the streets of different cities. Madrid, Athens, Milan, Santiago de Chile, Cuzco and New York are some of them.

Inside, the pages house very exclusive material, mainly focused on the different names and visual codes he has used, his evolution and his journey, including at the same time the work of other colleagues such as Buni, Higos, Fach, Rhed, Kami …

This compendium shows not only the pieces once they are finished, but also the processes, sketches, journeys and atmospheres of the places through which they have moved.

Along with the photographs, small stories produced by several of these aforementioned writers and by many others have also been interspersed, where they comment on their anecdotes and experiences linked to him or to some stage of his career.

In its first pages, the book also has two generous prologues written by Jaume Gómez and Fernando Figueroa, along with a brief preface by the author.
