By Lyrois (channeled by Alexander Becker)
This is the page for the coffee table book "None Of This Is Real" and for the text-only companion "None Of This Is Real #READONLY", covering LYROIS works from the time between 2002 and 2011 --
⅕ of the book is writings and unlike the text in some other art books, I want people to read it. It's not just all nice and colorful (it is...) but there is a whole lot of stuff to think about, as in light imagery and strong text. See below for the text-only edition.

None of This is Real
Works & Words 2002 - 2011
Authored by Lyrois
From an idea by Alexander Becker
None of This is Real collects and curates the output from the LYROIS lab between the years of 2002 and 2011, covering Street Art, interior & showroom design, as well as action sports. The works and the words reflect the tension between conciliatory imagery and antagonizing commentary, yet, one doesn't exist without the other.
In 1997, Alexander Becker drew a bunch of shapes, 17 figures gathered around the silhouette of a dancer. The shapes are sampled, over and over, with the techniques du jour, and the materials we contemporarily love; bright, opaque, or translucent vinyl, bullet-resistant acrylic glass, hi-tech paper, and industrial adhesive foil.
Inspired by theatrical Gobos, Lyrois plays with light and shadows and their projections.
None of This is Real is available via Amazon, B&N, and various other places off- and online.
