Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Colossus is the definitive showcase of epic European street art. From Berlin to Barcelona, Budapest to Lisbon it's a visual guide to both the astonishing and the epic. From figurative to abstract, geometric to photo-realistic, all of the major creative executions are covered in the expansive collection. This book is the culmination of years of obsessively keeping up with the explosion of the art form. Featuring QR codes for many of the major European cities, you too will be able to visit the artwork in person.
"Dreaming out loud. The mural is the border where the urban world touches it's dreams of itself. It is the window onto Narnia, the looking glass, the thin place. When it works it allows us to escape, for a moment, from language."
