Everyone wants to make their mark on the world – the most common kinds of graffiti anywhere are versions of ‘I woz here’. Taggers want anonymous fame but the indecipherable little scribble on a wall is out of date. Horizontal autographers perform their signatures as a dance, swaying to and fro with their brushes, cans or sticks.
