So Banksy created original pieces for a HMV display to sell his DVD. I just had to say it again, it sounds so fucking ridiculous.
Let's not forget this was the artist who defaced 500 (?) copies of Paris Hilton's CD and placed them in HMVs to make a point about the vacuous nature of consumption and celebrity our wonderful world embraces and loves.This was the man who stated it was time to reclaim the streets from the advertisments forced upon us.
And now, here is stamping on all of that, as if it meant nothing?
What do we know? Well we know he is not anti-consumption he's been selling everything and commissioning etc for years and years. Fine.
But there is a new book around the corner.
Perhaps just perhaps this final act is the coup de grace to the personna of Banksy?
