Samenvatting
Laser 3.14 is an anonymous Amsterdam Street Artist. This book collects a selection of his poetry, touching on philosophy, love, art and politics. Praise for 'White Phosphorus': 'Laser 3.14's spray-painted messages were like bizarre invocations of misunderstood concepts. Throughout the streets of Amsterdam my mind was continually spooked by them. I have one of 3.14's paintings in my studio. I don't know what it means, but I like it.' Stanley Donwood: Artist 'Laser is both poet and street artist, which in this day and age are both useful occupations. We need poets to have those original thoughts and street artists to spread them. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to broaden their horizons; you can't get much deeper than Laser, and we all need some depth...' King Adz: Author 'Your work deserves a book, Laser. But don't ever forget the city. I remember the first time I saw a text from you, one summer a long time ago; your tag, jubilant on a wooden fence... the city turned into a beach, the nearby canal a sea into which I cheerfully dove.' Wim Brands: Presenter and Poet 'It is rare to find poetry of this intensity, honesty, candor, and sharpness. This book is a gift of clarity amid a world of weary and dreary fakery and selling out.' Robert Spencer
