CIA - Criminalz in Action Paris 1990-2020 tells through 600 pages and in a chronological way, from 1990 to 2020, the story of the CIA graffiti crew (Ame, Doen, Ecraz, Ferk, Gray, Idéo, Jack 2, Noise, Reka, Skizo, Swan, Woody, just to name a few).
After 30 years of existence and thanks to the declassification of the archives, the book is a nice way to discover the work of its members through more than 1200 photos. Because holding in your hands the secret files of the CIA crew is a way to put yourself in the shoes of a Criminalz. You will discover the adventure of this group through the portrait of its members, more than 250 sketches and of course a lot of anecdotes.
To make it the most beautiful object possible, a large number of images have been restored and calibrated. The book also comes with two different covers: a "classic" edition in four-color printing with selective varnish and a "collector's" edition composed of a burgundy-colored swamp canvas and silver hot stamping. These two versions are numbered and personalized on a limited number of copies.
There is nothing more to say to let you being surprises while opening this very nice book made for all the fans of the CIA crew and the graffiti enthusiasts, apart that you will finally understand the meaning of the phrase "CIA, it's stronger than you!" by discovering their work and perhaps finding yourself within its pages.
