Conceptual artists Julia Kim Smith has released a new series of photographs and this time she appears to have got street artists heavyweight Banksy in on the action. There’s no hiding the fact that I’m a massive Banksy fan, 90% of the Banksy related posts on Dont Party were posted by me. So even though there appears to be a sort of stigma attached to posting about him these days, I found this quite interesting and thought I’d share it.
The series of photographs features the modern hooded spectre that has become synonymous with Banksy, as Smith explores what it would be like to unexpectedly receive the British icon as a house-guest. Banksy is seen lounging in the living room, helping with chores, enjoying a bowl of cereal and later a bucket of beers. The aim of the series was to allow us to imagine the artist in situations we’d never generally picture him in. There are also quite a few unexpected presences in the series such as the Smorkin Rabbit by Kozik, a jar of Marmite, Charlie Brown, Juxtapoz magazine and a few others, all were undoubtedly placed for some or other reason, most likely yet to be deciphered.
It’s an interesting concept, check it out below!
