In this exclusive interview, the world-famous street artist Banksy offers an in-depth look into his artistic practice and the philosophy behind his iconic works. On the streets of the world, he leaves more than just graffiti - he poses questions that encourage us to critically engage with society. From the mysterious Girl with a Balloon to provocative images like The Flower Thrower, Banksy exposes the contradictions of consumer society, militarism, and social inequality. But who is the artist behind the spray cans? A lone fighter against the system or part of a larger collective? In this conversation, Banksy discusses the destruction of his work at an auction, the power of anonymity, and the paradoxes of his art in the context of the capitalist market. What is art in the digital age? What remains of his resistance when his works themselves become luxury items? A fascinating dialogue on the role of art in a world shaped by capitalism, politics, and power - and an invitation to ask the important questions: What does art truly mean? And who are we when we see ourselves in the mirror of these works? Let Banksy guide you into the deeper meaning of his work - art that not only reflects the world but calls on us to question it.
