So today I watched the Banksy film "Exit Through The Gift Shop" in my university class. I personally thought it was amazing and would recommend everyone to watch it. everyones come across a Banksy at some point and wonders who the man behind the genius artwork is. This is a film that delves into the secret unknown world of street art and shows how other people can manipulate this world into making fame and money. Although you don't see Banksy himself, we hear interviews with a shadowed face and also get to see his studio, and the ways and means in which he manages to instalate some of his most controversial exhibits. And although I didn't see the face of the acclaimed artists, I still managed to develop a bit of a crush on him, a story about someone with that much drive and ambition who had no intention of making as much wealth and media extravagance as he did, who wanted only to make a statement, what a dreamboat....here's the trailer and some of Banksy's work.
