A photo collage of past and present street visuals in Asia; Aestheticizing Public Space explores the domestic; regional; and global nexus of East Asian cities through theirgraffiti; street art and other visual forms in public space. Attempting to unfold the complex positions of these images in the urban spatial politics of their respectiveregions; Lu Pan explores how graffiti in East Asia reflects the relationship between aesthetics and politics. The book situates itself in a contested dynamic relationshipamong human bodies; visual modernity; social or moral norms; styles; and historical experiences and narratives. On a broader level; this book aims to shed light on howaesthetics and politics are mobilized in different contested spaces and media forms; in which the producer and the spectator change and exchange their identities.
