Born out of an era that was filled with analog cassettes disposable cameras and hardcore shows at VFW halls. Indecent Exposure or IE was one of the earliest black and white photocopied graffiti zines to be made. Everyone involved with IE became part of it’s legion of lawlessness, hilarity, and counter measures to fitting into society. We were a band of skeptics that did our own background checks, made our own bus passes, and evaded all the normalcy that the
rest of society shoved down our throats. Before the internet took over and gave almost every human their own stage
to dance on, before all the chitter chatter in the comment section, and the incessant phone checking, there was us at grimy coffeeshops camped out with mugs upon mugs of coffee, drying our clothes out, smoking Old Golds, drawing and writing and reading and waiting for the night to fall. Before IG there was IE. And with IE we validated each other through and through.
Created on the West Coast and other locales around the US over a 4 year period between 1996-2000, it consisted of 8 issues. The zine featured only illegal graffiti and was assembled from hard copy photos in a cut and pasted style.
A call back to the end of the analog era.
This heavy collection of photos really speaks for itself. Stacked full of illegal street graffiti, letters, drawings and stories. Also included is an enlarged version of a poster that was originally included in one of the issues.
