Description
Un susseguirsi di colpi di scena, apparizioni misteriose, provocazioni planetarie: questo e molto altro è Banksy, il leggendario writer mascherato. Può capitare che rivendichi la paternità di una sua opera attraverso Instagram (come nel caso di Morning Is Broken), o che un suo disegno battuto all’asta per 1,2 milioni di euro (Girl With Balloon) venga di colpo ridotto in striscioline da un tagliacarte meccanico, per poi essere rivenduto a 18 milioni di sterline (Love Is In The Bin). Un monumento alla caducità? Uno sberleffo al mercato dell’arte e alla mercificazione delle opere? Tutto è possibile quando c’è di mezzo Banksy. Da oltre venticinque anni, l’artista britannico sembra essere dappertutto e da nessuna parte, curarsi di nulla e di nessuno. I suoi provocatori murales, improntati a una corrosiva critica e denuncia sociale, sono apparsi sui muri di tutto il mondo. Ma chi è davvero Banksy, il misterioso e geniale artista senza volto? Marco Trevisan, attraverso le testimonianze di amici, colleghi e persone che sostengono di averlo conosciuto, frequentato o visto all’opera, ricostruisce indizio dopo indizio la vita del più geniale e poliedrico street artist del pianeta, togliendogli finalmente la maschera.
