Paris, Il y a près d’un an, des groupes de voisins vigilants se sont constitués dans le but de traquer les tags dans la ville. Le 24 avril 2021 au soir, l’un d’eux filme par sa fenêtre, un flagrant délit de signature. Immédiatement, il publie la vidéo sur internet. S’en suit alors une traque acharnée sur Twitter, afin de déceler l’identité du saccageur et de le clouer au pilori. Au cours de l’enquête, un suspect est désigné, et se retrouve accusé d’être l’auteur des tags Spleen75. Le présent livre retrace cette traque, dont les éléments ont été publiés quotidiennement par les inquisiteurs sur internet : photographies, commentaires, indices et plaintes. Ce compte rendu est suivi de la confession de Spleen75, véritable brulot du Bossu de Stalingrad contre sa ville, « cette immondice, qui s’est vendue aux plus offrants, ignoble furoncle qui a cédé à leurs désirs de merveilles, promesse d'une citadelle hybride, mélange du Loft et de Créteil Soleil. »

Kyiv region, by Ihor Okuniev, 2022

Dear readers, Since the first day of war, thanks to book selling, donations & fund raising event, we manage to send a total amount of 10550 € to our friends and contributors Ihor Okuniev, Volodymyr Pavlov and Vladislav Sharapa. We are more than thankful for your generosity. Together, they form a group of volunteers based in Кyiv and carry out a good number of local aid actions, bringing medicine and food to isolated people, offering transportation to shelters for the most fragile. At the same time, they organize charity sales of artworks in order to financially support our artist friends in Ukraine. The situation is still really bad, and we are still determined to support them in this courageous and supportive approach and we give them all our confidence to work in the most just and useful way for the Ukrainian people and their artistic community. We maintain our call for donation : link in bio. S L A V A U K R A I N I !

Батьківщина-Мати, Acelitos, 2019 Dear readers,

for the past 13 days Ukraine has been undergoing the aggression of Russian decision makers.

In view of the situation, it is important for us to support Ukrainian humanitarian initiatives.

Since the beginning of Croatan Edition, we carry Ukraine high in our hearts.

We are fraternally and artistically linked to several groups from Kiev, Yalta and Odessa.

Today, we added a donation button on the website and will continue to donate all our sales (excluding shipping costs) directly to our friends and contributors Ihor Okuniev, Volodymyr Pavlov and Vladislav Sharapa.

Together, they form a group of volunteers based in Кyiv and carry out a good number of local aid actions, bringing medicine and food to isolated people, offering transportation to shelters for the most fragile. At the same time, they organize charity sales of artworks in order to financially support our artist friends in Ukraine. We are determined to support them in this courageous and supportive approach and we give them all our confidence to work in the most just and useful way for the Ukrainian people and their artistic community.

All our thoughts go to those who are fighting there to defend their freedom, those who are organizing solidarity on the spot, those who, by the millions, are forced to leave their country under the bombs, those who help as they can in Europe and elsewhere. Our thoughts also go to those in Russia, who are fighting against the Putinist dictatorship and its ignoble war.

Thank you for your support !

CROATAN EDITION

Dear readers,

in 2014, during the week of events organised for the launching of Croatan Edition, we lived the annexation of Crimea with our Ukrainian friends and contributors @Monopoly & Children’s Cruisade who where with us in Brussels at the time.

8 years later, western wait-and-see attitude to Putin leads us to the recent invasion of Ukraine.

Today, we stand with people of Ukraine, who are currently fighting alone for their country and freedom.

From now on all incomes from Croatan’s website (shipping excluded) will be send to savelife.in.ua, helping those in need. In other words, what you pay on the website will be directly donated.

We also have a thought to our Russian friends who are getting repressed by Russian government for protesting against the war.

We stand against the war, we stand against Putin.

À l’amitié internationale!
