In "Montevideo Popular Graphics," Argentine photographer Guido Indij--responsible for several collections exploring South American graffiti--turns his eye towards Uruguay's street culture: "I can't believe the things I see when out walking the streets of Montevideo: posters from our childhood, signage from our parents days, archaeological traces of the last "letristas" (sign-writers), bestiaries, Carlos Gardels, fish and more fish " After walking extensively through the city, Indij notes that through these graphics "we can reach an understanding of our identity." Much like the Surrealists, who found inspiration in the posters, signs and ads that papered the streets of Paris in the 1920s, Indij mines the language of the street for clues to our collective unconscious. Indij's previous books on street graphics incude "Hasta La Victoria, Stencil!" (2005) and "1000 Stencils" (2008), which was published concurrently with an exhibition at The Drawing Center in New York.
