Banksy is an extremely talented artist from the UK, who has a philosophy behind his work that is both groundbreaking and powerful in its view on what is "art" and the ownership of public visual space. In other words, he changed my whole perspective on shit. He believes we as the public, own the public space, we own the walls of our city, the bus stops, the overpasses, the doors, the metros, everything. And we have just as much right to contribute to designing and 'beautifying' our cities as advertisers do. He is tired of our space being infiltrated and drowned in the artificiality of commercialism.
I am really looking forward to seeing his film!
