This documentary is created by the famous British street artist Banksy about his friend Thierry Guetta. What is interesting is that Thierry, who was originally keen on shooting, and Banksy, who engaged in street art, exchanged identities and helped each other in unexpected fields. Get achievements.
Regarding graffiti art, it has always been regarded as a rebellion and attack against the “formatting”, “limitation” and “commercialization” of mainstream art. It is a rebellious art used to express oneself, express emotions and disdain fame and wealth. In the film, most of the street artists also create and express their attitudes almost piously and without distraction. But this documentary shows us that graffiti art, like other art, is inevitably regarded as a business opportunity, involved in the trading market, measured by the monetary value they should have criticized, and even ironically, the documentary’s The protagonist Thierry gradually discovered his talent in recording street art performances, which is full of advanced behavior, and turned into a winner who successfully swept the commercial market with street art.
This makes people wonder whether street art needs to always maintain its one-way rebellious value, or does it essentially have the need to be integrated and transformed by the mass market?
In fact, I think that if you understand it from a more essential point of view, no matter what direction the graffiti art develops, it is understandable. Because art itself is a kind of "freedom", the freedom of people's thoughts, the freedom of souls, and the freedom of creative behavior. After it is created, it is free, appreciated by anyone, given imagination by anyone, or given meaning by the creator himself or the public-it can be valuable or priceless. Just as a city and its residents are tolerant of graffiti art’s destruction of its regular and harmonious civilization, graffiti art itself rebels, and therefore should also tolerate rebellion against it. But the most important thing is that we can’t forget the graffiti art’s vigilance to the development of human art, and we can’t forget its milestone significance during the commercialization. Consumers should always remember that they are not paying for the trend, but A tribute to the critical and innovative, rebellious and fearless spirit.
