Evan Roth photographed more than 2,400 graffiti tags over a four-day period in April of this year in an effort to show the diversity of graffiti work in each of Paris’s 20 districts. His finished product is the video above.
Here’s how Wooster Collective explained the process and purpose of Roth’s work:
“Photographs were then archived, tagged and sorted by letter. The ten most commonly used letters by Paris 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. Evan explains that the sets are not intended to display the âbestâ graffiti tags in Paris, but rather aim to highlight the diversity of forms ranging from upper case to lowercase, simple to complex and legible to cryptic.”
