Thomas Bratzke s Zasd -tags has been showing up in Berlin since 1991 and in the late 1990 s he became a significant figure of the infamous graffiti style-writing scene in Berlin one of the most fast-forward and innovative european graffiti scenes. In 1999 it was time for Zasd to review lettering and styles from scratch, using all kinds of materials and medias to create three-dimensional Zasd-pieces.
• As a part of the Berlin-based collective jazzstylecorner, Bratzke has expanded his practice to incorporate collaboration and improvisation, central tenets of the graffiti world, with more atypical ingredients such as jazz music, 3-D projection, kinetic sculpture, and digital media. His performances, sculptures, installations, and interventions transcend the genre of graffiti. He deconstructs and recon- structs the quotidian, from commonplace objects to the fabric of the city, and even engages with social systems and structures, to create a new, more vibrant and interactive reality for his audience.
• The book Knowing ZASD by his Walk consists of three parts. The first part offers a wide range of photos from different projects by Bratzke. Here, a lot of his performative manipulations of architectural spaces can be found, often referring to the practice of style-writing: The arrow as a prominent element in style-writing is visible in projects like Arrow Pieces.
• The second part introduces the novel The House of Thomas Bratzke written by US author Rose Pacult: A journalist gets trapped in a house which reacts upon thoughts and move- ments. The protagonist, who wanted to meet Thomas Bratzke for an interview, now finds herself alone in his house, digging through Bratzke s countless crates, documents and writings in all the different rooms. She needs to reveal the secrets of this house in order to find her way out back into the city.
• In the third part, for the first time, all works by Thomas Bratzke are collected in a thematic and chronologic order.
