Evan Roth. Graffiti Taxonomy

GRAFFITI TAXONOMY : PARIS, 2009 is a study depicting the stylistic diversity found in Parisian graffiti tags created by EVAN ROTH.

For this project, over 2,400 graffiti tags were photographed from April 24 to April 28, 2009 from each of Paris's 20 districts. All photographs were archived, tagged and sorted by letter. Then he filtered out the 10 most used letters (A,E,I,K,N,O,R,S,T and U) and for each of them he isolated eighteen tags to represent the diversity and range of that specific character.

Now on display at Fondation Cartier's Born In The Streets - Graffiti exhibition until November 29, 2009 in Paris
