Mirko Reisser (aka DAIM) concentrates on four letters to push personal and visual boundaries in his highly stylized three dimensional writing. DAIM graffitis can be seen as fixed images of a word-formation that is constantly threatening to reassemble, denying access, escaping the demands of tangibility and, thereby, remain free and sovereign.

With every new DAIM piece, Reisser takes possession of another piece of the world; and with every new DAIM piece, the world takes possession of another piece of Mirko Reisser. “Shaping the character of letters and at the same time, discovering one’s own” is his dictum. The character of the letters remains variable, abstruse, in short: ambivalent (and, thus, subversive).

In between construction and de-construction, two- and three-dimensions, complexity of shape and simplification of content, between seclusion and an invitation to communicate, Reisser’s works reveal the unfathomable rift of the world – at the crossing of which the beholder increasingly struggles.
