Graffdream is an editorial-photographic project that intends to document the Roman underground scene starting from one of the most deeply rooted subcultures: writing. Thanks to the collaboration with two Roman writers, Luis and Frak, the project is not limited to a sterile and objective commentary of the phenomenon of graffiti, but explores its most hidden and visceral aspects. Being a writer is not a hobby, a sport but a real lifestyle. At the same time, the theme of urban decay is also treated through the analysis of some abandoned and forgotten places in the capital, which have now become a cult and symbol of hip-hop culture. Virtually every Roman writer has stepped on the surface of these areas to leave his tag.
