based on the instagram account @sabotageespionage—an online scrappy-book dedicated to all things sabotage—THE BOOK is a slightly more polished, a little more complete, but forever lasting version

@sabotageespionage—THE BOOK focuses on the brand’s so-called »disruptive years«, 1989–1995, drawing from the archive of paul snowden. no documentation of this kind has ever existed before; this is the first and last edition, strictly limited to 404 copies with no re-issues

the @sabotageespionage account started in march 2022 as a self-initiated project. the idea to make a book was approved by founder michael dannroth. apart from pre-orders, the project is privately funded, allowing for complete independence and creative control

@sabotageespionage—THE BOOK brings together original material, untold stories, images, artworks, video stills and more. it includes 37 interviews with central figures from then and now—plus additional texts—many sharednfor the first time

THE BOOK is a comprehensive overview of a brand that, sadly, was just a little too ahead of its time. yet sabotage remains as mindblowing, yes as legen… and you have waited 30 years for it, the time is now caus release is planned for november 2025 …dary as ever
