They do not succumb to commercial pressure and they bring new life into the graffiti movement. Thus, the artists presented in this book devote themselves to this art in a committed way. On one hand, this might be caused by more severe penalties, on the other it is due to the increasing incorporation of the media and big business. In the beginning of the 21st century, graffiti seems to be taking a line which is totally against its original motivation. It is that freedom which makes this book so special, but also the fact that all these unpublished photos were taken especially for the book. The task was to shoot their everyday life with complete freedom in the choice of the motifs. Looking for an answer, with a high sense of the drama of the journey, Marcus takes us down the dark paths of counterhistory, a route of blasphemy, adventure, and surprise. A Polaroid camera and about one hundred Polaroid photos was sent to well known graffiti writers of different nationalities. Lipstick Traces tells a story as disruptive and compelling as the century itself. Consciously, and therefore in contrast with usual graffiti publications, it uses the peculiar medium of Polaroid. Like Lipstick Traces shows the everyday life of 13 graffiti writers.
