More than half of the material contained in Errar is produced during different tours in Italy, Belgium, France, Greece and the United States during the years 2022- 2023-2024. We have been working on this book for 2 years since our last release with the YKSUHC monograph. The great reception of this publication has allowed us to continue working on similar projects like the one we bring you now.

The book consists of:
- a foreword by Craig Castleman, author of the seminal book Getting Up.
- an introductory text and a longer essay-like text on the possibilities facing “the exhaustion of graffiti”. This text, in particular, is a desire to share perspectives on the creative will and the materialization of ideas. Both are written by Yksuhc.
- more than 150 full-color images showing a selection of unpublished and unique pieces, accompanied by drawings, psycho-geographical maps, explorations and atmospheres of unusual places. The photographic captures mainly focus on actions on mobile supports that travel through railway environments: passenger cars, freight cars and locomotives. But also alleys, tracks, tunnels and other spaces.
- texts and notes by Fernando Figueroa including comments and analysis of specific works where he describes the current situation regarding the development of Chusky's work.

The author, often linked to the initial style of New York graffiti, gradually began to separate himself from this school, without misrepresenting or even abandoning the essentiality of the practice. The illegal, playful, grotesque, ironic and humorous character was always characteristic in a good part of his creations. Nowadays, in some of his pieces, the lyrics as a fundamental element, sometimes acquire an overflowing presence through words that acquire a substitute role for the usual masterpiece. The reflection on the limitations and possibilities of graffiti, its means, materials and methods; the singular, critical or unusual juxtapositions of words and images; the issues of perception, disappearance and visuality in relation to the abstraction of the name through figuration or the elaboration of texts, are the themes that Yksuhc has dealt with in recent years, both from theory and practice.
