In the late 1980s, illegal graffiti enraged the village of Muri in the canton of Aargau. Numerous walls were suddenly sprayed. Shortly thereafter, the perpetrators of these murals were taken into custody. One of these young graffiti artists was Pirmin Breu. Today, Breu still graffiti, but legally. This portrait of an illegal graffiti artist who became an established local artist.
