EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP | BANKSY

Exit Through The Gift Shop is an exploration into the underground world of graffiti art. Following an eccentric vintage-clothing store owner, Thierry, who becomes obsessed with the thrill of documenting anything and everything. After a trip to Europe, Thierry learns about the sub-culture of graffiti art and becomes consumed by it. He soon finds himself documenting the likes of known graffiti artists such as Space Invader, Borf, Buffmaster, Swoon, Shepard Fairey and ultimately London-based Banksy. Once he comes in contact with Banksy, his world would change forever. Banksy became a mentor and friend to Thierry then soon convinces him to put down the camera and pick up a spray can - from then on, Thierry would be known as Mr. Brainwash.



Exit Through The Gift Shop opens our eyes to the current popularity & success of graffiti art as well as the risks that accompany it. I can only hope that this documentary is widely released asap because I can't wait to see it again! Check out the trailer above.
