ODEM: ON THE RUN chronicles the breathless rise and sudden fall of Berlin graffiti artist ODEM, who initially tagged his name in every subway as a small-time tagger and experimented with his first pieces as a crew member. He then became part of a youth scene that gathered daily at Friedrichstrasse subway station, eventually gaining international fame as the king of the scene and becoming feared for his ruthlessness. ODEM: ON THE RUN is the authentic account of a city youth in the early nineties. Equally fascinating and shocking, this book makes the enthusiasm of young people for graffiti understandable while harshly illuminating the darker sides of a scene where fun and action are as commonplace as violence and crime, alcohol and drugs.
