banksy fala

"You're 14, 15. It's a big world out there, you wanna make your mark, and no one listens to a word you say. Whereas, yer know, one night, one spray can, all of a sudden people notice you."

"You live in the city and all the time there are signs telling you what to do and billboards trying to sell you something. And I always felt that it was all right to answer back a little bit, I suppose. That the city shouldn't just be a one-way conversation."

"Graffiti's always been a temporary art form. You make your mark and then they scrub it off. I mean, most of it is just designed to look good from a moving vehicle. Not necessarily in the history books. But maybe all art is about just trying to live on for a bit. I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time."

palavras do grafiteiro, artista plástico, guerrilheiro visual banksy que deu sua primeira entrevista na vida para o inglês the sun (de resto, permanece agindo sem mostrar a cara, o gênio). fala sobre o começo, a relação com galerias e colecionadores, dá detalhes de algumas ações memoráveis como a intervenção (em parceria com danger mouse) sobre os discos da paris hilton em 2006. e já está saindo em dvd lá na inglaterra o documentário exit through the gift shop (2010), do próprio banksy. vontade da porra de assistí-lo. olha só esse aperitivo de 5 minutos...
