Using over 2,400 different graffiti tags from all over Paris as raw data, artist Evan Roth photographed, tagged and sorted each piece by letter, creating am archive cataloging the stylistic diversity found in the city. This fascinating study is now on display at Foundation Cartier’s Born in The Streets exhibition. Watch the video below to see an overview of the project.
