In Name Tagging, graffiti photography legend Martha Cooper presents a dizzying array of “Hello My Name Is” stickers adorned with tags, the origin of graffiti and today’s street art cultures. Interviews with ZEPHYR, COST, EDEC, CLAW, TWIST, SURE & FAUST, COSBE, ALONE, CAHBASM, OVERCONSUME and EARWORM reveal the history of this tradition as well as shed light on how some of today’s most prolific writers get up.
These interviews and photographs document how artists famed and anonymous take advantage of the accessibility and practicality of nametag stickers. Cooper’s camera has captured the artistry and audacity of these artists and their distinctive tags.
