Exit Through the Gift Shop
By now you’ve probably seen Banksy’s self-destructing painting BUT have you seen his first and, according to him, his last ever documentary ? (link to full film below)
Exit Through the Gift Shop tells the story of how Banksy came to meet Thierry Guetta, a Los Angeles-based Frenchman who obsessively videotapes some of the world’s greatest street artists of the time, including Shepard Fairey of OBEY fame and Parisian-based Space Invader.
Thierry’s footage is a unique insight into the phenomenal rise in street art in the early 2000s that becomes an unexpectedly poignant exploration of the line between real and fake, modern art and celebrity, complete with plenty of hilarious moments along the way.
The film includes rare, filmed interviews with Banksy himself, well worth a watch !
