Flyers are a highly original expression of urban youth culture.
These
flyers directly reflect the contemporary Zeitgeist of a generation as
it experiments with its multi-disciplinary content and graphics. Since
1998, Soziotope has been dedicated to the collection and exhibition of
recent and historic designs and texts illuminating this cultural
phenomenon.
This particular catalogue illustrates the entire spectrum of this
media-culture, from the genre's inception to its dissemination among a
wide variety of social, economic and media-specific agents. Both the
origins of this propaganda medium and its imagined future are presented
in this 608 page compendium, which covers a quarter century of examples
from German, Europe and abroad. More than a dozen authors take a
scientific and entertaining look at this impressive body of work.
