A collection of the publisher's photographs of the walls of China, Italy, and Russia. These photographs direct the readers gaze towards walls that are often taken for granted. Walls as the site of socio-cultural demonstration of status or dissent. Walls as time based sculptures that illustrate the patina of age. Walls that contain or protect, walls that frame or are framed by the landscape. The beautiful Decay of the constructed environs of our cities facades continue facinate the photographer and the publisher alike. The collaborative wear of weather and people on our spaces made visable. Graphitti turns the walls into pages, the buildings into books, and the city into a library.
