Sergey Sapozhnikov. |||¦||||. Metro. Sap

(2025)

An artist’s early experiments anchor a conversation exploring the roots of Rostov’s vibrant 2000s graffiti scene and the passion that launched a career.

The book presents the early graffiti works of Sergey Sapozhnikov and his experiments from the early 2000s, which the artist created under the pseudonyms Sap and Metro, and later without any signature at all (|||¦||||). The core of the book is a conversation between Sergey and Igor Ponosov, who met through their shared interest in experimental street art.

This book is not just a nostalgic look back at a youthful passion that sparked a subsequent artistic practice, but also a concise excursion into the history of the Rostov graffiti scene of the early 2000s, of which Sergey Sapozhnikov was an active participant.
