Made in collaboration with São Paulo's Clube Nacional, Section 348 takes its title from the Canadian Criminal Code provision addressing “breaking and entering with intent, committing offence, or breaking out.” Drawing from photographs produced by the Société de transport de Montréal’s security personnel, the book examines bureaucratic images documenting unauthorized entries into Montreal Metro facilities from the 2010s to 2020s. Produced as evidentiary records following graffiti-related incursions, these images capture traces of movement through tunnels, empty stations, maintenance areas, and other restricted spaces rarely seen by the public. Originally intended to support investigations, the photographs reveal an overlooked and largely inaccessible dimension of transit graffiti: not the finished works themselves, but the acts of access, concealment, and navigation that precede their creation. Detached from their original function, these photos offer an unusual perspective on the relationship between graffiti writers, transit infrastructure, and the systems tasked with monitoring both. Through photographs documenting break-ins and their aftermath, Section 348 shifts attention from painted surfaces to the infrastructures, pathways, and covert practices that make transit graffiti possible. 4.73 x 7.09 inches 88 pages, black and white Perfect bound Paperback Printed in Montreal
