Passing Through Moving In and Getting Away With It by Gordon Matta-Clark is a remarkable visual archive capturing the raw beginnings of New York’s graffiti movement in the early 1970s. This extensive publication features over 1,500 photographs taken between 1972 and 1973, presenting every frame from the artist’s original film rolls. Through these images, readers are immersed in Matta-Clark’s exploration of the city, from subway cars layered in graffiti to hidden urban spaces and abandoned structures. The work reflects his deep fascination with the relationship between architecture, decay, and artistic expression. More than just a documentation of graffiti, the book offers a vivid portrait of New York’s evolving cultural landscape. Accompanied by insightful essays, it provides valuable context into both the artist’s practice and the era he captured. The sheer scale of the book makes it an impressive object as well as a significant historical record. It reveals a lesser-known dimension of Matta-Clark’s work beyond his architectural interventions. Rich in detail and atmosphere, it invites readers to experience the city through the artist’s lens. This volume is an essential addition for collectors, creatives, and anyone interested in urban culture and visual history
