Description
From the streets of Bristol to the caverns of London and beyond, BanksyDoc finds the truths and explores the impact that the worlds most famous graffiti artist has had on the art world, on the expression of protest and satire, and on the perception of what you can do with a spray can and a stencil. Furthermore, this documentary explores the highly active art collector's world and how the celebrity factor shockingly influences value.
Understanding how plastic any notion of truth and value
can be, when the subject of an interview can be
manipulated into saying anything the film-maker wants,
when a guy with a spray can has more relevance to the
world of art than its most famed and moneyed exponents.
Even the opinion people have of the work is
contradictory, favored by their prejudices. docoBANKSY
gleefully picks up on these contradictions, playing
opposing soundbites over the same graffiti. docoBANKSY
adds another layer onto the absurdity by making the
point that the film is not even his own work, simply
something that he has found and redistributed.
