PALLOTTA, Simone. Ceremony.

(Italy): Yard Press, 2014.  First edition.  Booklet.  Unpaginated.  Published on the occasion of the collective exhibition From Street To Art, that was hosted by the Italian Cultural Institute of New York from June 20 to August 20, 2014.  The exhibition featured works by Aris, BR1, Cyop and Kaf, Dem, Eron, Sten and Lex, Ufo5 and others.  The volume features pictures taken by graffiti writers during the ’90s, the years when graffiti culture first started emerging in Rome. The publication is focused entirely on the social rite of graffiti writing, rather than on the artworks themselves. All the pictures were part of photo albums of Roman crews and writers and each page reveals something about the expeditions, the crews, the meetings and all other forms of activities that constitute the social ties within the writers’ community.  A near fine copy in stapled wrappers.  Published in an edition of 250 numbered copies.
