AURI SACRA FAMES No.5  

Almost beating the fattest No.2 issue with 232 pages the fifth AURI SACRA FAMES volume was published in December 2016. Leaving out some of the usual chapters like tags, hall of fames or walls these sections have been replaced by artists which are predominantly active in the respective field: the IMK crew, BOAONE and CREAM.

With 52 pages the by far biggest special in the magazine’s history yet had the legendary DRM crew in focus. To the occasion of the 20th crew anniversary besides some never before shown highlights of the last two decades an elaborate text introduced us to the founding and first years of the DReaMers.

One of the most active and interesting crews of the recent years in Berlin is without a doubt TLS. Although every imaginable aspect of writing is practiced by them, in the TrainLeistungsSport (train competitive sport) part we especially paid attention to the activities of the train focused crew members on 24 pages.

Furthermore featured writers this time are KOLD, MR.TEE, SPIDER, BUZZ, ROCCO, BIO, IBES, OUPS, IXAP, AZUR, MAGIC, DROW, ZELDA, TRUS, ARZT, WULFF and many more.

AURI SACRA FAMES No.4  

In June 2015 the fourth volume of the Berlin focused magazine was published. Just like in the previous issue the capital’s borders have been crossed only once, this time by featuring train experiences of the exile Berliner ZOUK in Southern Germany. Besides him the content is straight from the so called metropolis of graffiti and presented on 228 pages.

While trainspotting is a major part of the magazine since day one, a very interesting spotter caught our attention and was featured in a 23 paged special: The New York clean train legend VEN from the AOK crew. Being a Berlin resident since years he is one of most busy train spotters in town and did not only show his personal highlights, but also tells little stories on his adventures while chasing burners.

To more concentrate on really documenting the scene two chapters did have a special concept in No.4: The hall of fame section was put together by Foto-Sven, Berlins human graffiti archive, showing the 40 most active legal writers from 2014. Following the same documentation approach the 66 paged S-Bahn chapter did solely consist of likely all trains which were in traffic after the strike of the train drivers in 2014.

Last but not least KIRD exclusively did show pieces of a color concept series he did on Berlin S-Bahn and U-Bahn on 40 pages! The common chapters on tags, stations and U-Bahn feature writers like CLINT176, NOV, IEGIT, APER, ROCCO, TRIK, KISS, ZIZZY, SPIDER, SHADE, FIXER, BUZZ, ABIS, TRUS, TCK and many more.

AURI SACRA FAMES No.3

Summer 2014 – time for the third volume of Berlin’s magazine book. With 188 pages still one of the fattest zines out there, this time the content is presented more focused, more thought-out and on point. With little changes in the photo selection and layout, there are also news concerning the content: for the first time a freight chapter is part of the magazine, above all featuring Transwaggon trains.

Due to the fact that this medium is kind of new to most writers and publishers, the chapter features 20 pages and further big specials on the TOPSPRAYER duo and the Italy based writer ARIS with his unique styled figurative shapes. But passenger trains have not been left out this time: S-Bahn and U-Bahn trains still have main chapters and specials with SIEGER and the ENC crew.

Besides the common sections like tags, walls and halls the subway stations made a comeback in No.3. A selection of featured writers in this volume: SPAIR, THE ONE, ROGER, DROW, SPIDER, FANTOM, BLOK, ROZER, ZOUK, LIMP.H, CLINT176, SHEM, REVO, ABIS, BARTO, FIRE, NORD, ILOVEYOU, LES, KRIPOE, HESHT, NATS and DOROC.

AURI SACRA FAMES No.2

In autumn of 2013 the second AURI SACRA FAMES issue was released. Once again the concept was not to wait until writers send in photos of their works, hopefully relevant stuff in good photo quality, but to go out and document by ourselves what is going on in Berlin. With 236 pages the volume was as twice as big as the previous one and was mostly regarded as a book.

With a high amount of conceptual subways in Berlin the TBA crew caught our attention and so the spotlight was set on the guys’ actions in a 24 paged special. The variety of stylewriting was captured in the hall of fame part followed by the piece and story chapter featuring SKIM and SHEK. With 72 pages the S-Bahn chapter gave an update to the capitals’ rolling steel activities as well as the 36 paged U-Bahn section. In an interview special the producers of the UNLIKE U movie allowed us insight into their lawsuit with the BVG and finally the Schoolyard Mates present local and international trains.

Featured writers this time include SIN, OUPS, ZOUL, PREY, REVO, BLOK, SPIDER, ROGER, BUZZ, VIPER, DROW, FRESH, AMIK, RAMS, SUN79, OASE, BSOS, WILD, KABEL, ABIS and many others.
