AboutNils Müller (b. 1982) is a photographer from Cologne, Germany. His work evolves around humans and their emotions. Müller is best known for his Vandals series, which documents the world-wide graffiti movement of writers who leave their name on public transport. After several years of working under harsh conditions on four different continents, Müller has taken this series to unexpected dimensions and is now one of the most famous photographers to document graffiti. In contrast to his studio work, which comes without any time pressure, his work is characterized by the oft-quoted Moment décisif. In this way, he stands in a 30 year old tradition. In comparison however to Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant, who were some of the first to document the graffiti culture in NYC in the early 1980s, the photos of Müller can be seen as a extension and also as pioneer work: On Müller’s photos the painted object is secondary; the actors and their emotions always have priority. Some of those photos of his long term project have been published in his book Blütezeit (Gingko Press, 2009).
