“Everywhere I go, Jean has already been there. I hardly know anything about Jean. What does Jean mean? Who is Jean?”
On highways and train routes, on soundproof walls, on regional trains and S-Bahns, in the urban area of the city of Stuttgart as well as in rural regions – JEAN is everywhere and yet intangible. On extensive forays, Sebastian Heß photographed numerous works by the sprayer over a period of several years and became a silent observer. Always on the lookout for new finds, an entire archive grew that documents JEAN works from 2010-2023.
In the publication DETAILS OF JEAN, Sebastian Heß approaches the works of the anonymous author in close-ups and catalogues illegal paintings on various surfaces.
Heß meticulously and with great attention to detail created a timeless publication with design finesse: The unusual focus on detailed sections creates new perspectives – isolated, the details appear like independent, non-objective works, and the style and surface structures are revealed. Wrapped in a handmade cover with spray paint tags from JEAN, each book is unique.
