After more than a year in the works, TAXIS: Iconography and Visual Language of Taxi Culture in Latin America is ready to go.
Drawn from the amazing archive researcher Evan Marcus compiled in Ecuador, this bilingual book is a celebration of transportation graphics in the Andes. From there, things unravel: religion, romance, diesel fires; the decay of power, the disappearance of ideology; the residue of cultural patrimony in the built environment; and an iconographic vernacular full of humor.
The first of an ongoing series, TAXIS is printed in glorious bright yellow at 2,800 meters above sea level, in historic downtown Quito.
