Milan, , IT Italy

go gallery confirms its affinities with urban cultures, artistic contaminations and new visual languages introducing TRAPHIC, the first visual book by Thomas “Marok” Marecki published by Unagi Books (www.unagi-books.com) including an essay by Renko Heuer. TRAPHIC presents an interpretation of various networks, time frames, experiences and the general surroundings of modern-day existence, through a combination of visuals and texts based around the headline : ‘traffic’ + ‘graphic’ = TRAPHIC. The exibition TRAPHIC represents the natural and necessary result of Marok's linguistic and artistic investigation. This show carries out the concept displayed in the book through installations, graphic artworks and videos juxtaposing various urban materials and mediums close to street culture.

“With my installment I basically want to create a parallel approach to common things. Link and connect things which are otherwise considered disparate elements, and thus create a present that is both absurd and real - just like today’s reality.” - Thomas Marecki
