55DSL x Fakso “Fast or Die” Project

Having been involved with photography since the age of 13, Alex Fasko has become a prominent presence in the contemporary street scene, providing a voice to the graffiti movement since the early ’90s. His latest project, Fast or Die, is a catalog of photos taken during his travels over the past five years to places like the United States, Japan and Russia. The nearly 60 shots that are contained in the book capture a narrative of the chaotic underground life of subways as people run, take their trains, sleep on docks and sneak into tunnels. Teaming up with his childhood friend Andrea Rosso, creative director of 55DSL, the two have also designed a set of six t-shirts that feature photos and graphics from the book, both of which can be purchased in select 55DSL stores worldwide (including the e-shop) and on www.fakso.com.
