UTAH & ETHER – PROBATION VACATION: LOST IN ASIA (Episode 12 – China – Part 2)
China Part 2 - Episode 12 of the video series, documenting the adventures of the most notorious graffiti couple UTAH & ETHER - PROBATION VACATION: LOST IN ASIA
This first monograph of Utah & Ether tells the story of an American couple who, in 2011, left their homeland behind indefinitely to explore, paint and document the metro systems of Asia. For five years the artists traveled to 11 countries and 37 cities to fulfil their quest of chronicling the adventure and drama surrounding painting subways in Asia . This book is a compilation of stories and photographs that outline the artists’ experiences on their 5 year journey to the biggest cities and most obscure regions of the world’s largest continent.
The project was called PROBATION VACATION: LOST IN ASIA and the documentation of the nomadic journey was separated in two:
1. First, the video footage they created 12 original episodes, which allow us to follow U&E and experience a small part of their adventure. To be part of the action and to celebrate the accomplishment of their goals. This series was (and continue to be) release online for free.
2. The second part is held in a book. A book that will tell us the stories, the experience and the emotions they had along the way. This personal regard introduce us details and situations, which we can’t see or understand in their videos. Together with a selection of their best photographies, the book will complete the experience and set a new milestone in the modern history of graffiti.
