Harald Naegeli – Der Sprayer von Zürich
by
Nathalie David
Special Screenings
Work of art or criminal offence? This question is what drives Harald Naegeli, ever since he sprayed his first stick figure drawing on a public wall in 1977. While the public prosecutor's office has been hot on the heels of this Zurich-based sprayer, after issuing an international arrest warrant in 1983, he is considered by many others to be a pioneer of street art. Today, at the age of 80, he returns home after decades of exile in Düsseldorf. Here, he rekindles his love-hate relationship with the city of Zurich. An entertaining examination of the controversial, versatile and extremely charismatic Swiss artist.
