Ten years have already gone by since the first issue of Incognito came to light. In celebration of number 17, they’ve released a “deluxe” edition of 68 pages in an elegant, delicate matte paper on its interior and exterior.
Four articles are organized into two sections (one at the beginning and one at the end) of trains from all over the world. There’s a section on walls and another on street bombing, both without any geographical distinction. Within the sections you’ll find high quality graffiti that’s been filtered down through the original criteria that characterizes Incognito Magazine.
The first article is devoted to Cazter. An introductory text and brief autobiography open the doors to a selection of pieces that demonstrate the timeless freshness of this Swedish master.
Following a similar profile comes an article about Saeio, which includes more pages due to the size of its photos. Pieces and tags of the most avant-guard Parisian graffiti on the Paris streets and angular stone. The American, Begr, also has a space in the mustache baring magazine, providing a large quantity of pieces on walls and freight trains. To top off what this publication has to offer, a photo essay by the German, Edward Nightingale, brings us to the epicentre of two sessions in Copenhagen (one an S-train and another a metro), utilizing his majestic and recognizable style of photography.
Without a doubt, it’s a copy surely worth keeping on the shelf and one with which we can celebrate the 10 years that the Swedes have published these non-negligible 17 issues. We dedicate an applause to them from here, for making it a reality, and we wish them at least 10 more years of life with Incognito.
