1. Push in on “I Love New York” mural
2. Various pans of Banksy’s artwork
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Haziz Vardar, Founder of Banksy Museum:
“Everybody knows Banksy, but nobody knows his face. He’s very important. So, the idea of creating a museum about Banksy came like six years ago, and I said, for this artist, I’m a fan and a collector, we have to do something special. All his artwork are disappearing, stolen or whitewashed.”
4. Pan from “Robot and Barcode” to “Waiting in Vain”
5. SOUNDBITE (English) William Meade, Executive Director of Banksy Museum:
“I think one of the beauty, beautiful things about not knowing who Banksy is that you don’t project onto him. This art speaks for itself. This is simplistic, but it’s very powerful. The juxtapositions and the sense of humor are something that you know that may make the audience work. And then when you are – when you work for it, then you own it, then you’re part of it.”
6. Flower thrower
7. Push in on “Umbrella Girl”
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Haziz Vardar, Founder of Banksy Museum:
“The approval of somebody you don’t know is very complicated to have it. But I remember we just opened in Paris three months after because we were explaining to everybody that it’s just re-creation, the original doesn’t exist anymore.
9. Pan from “Simpsons” to “Girl on Stool” (overlay)
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Haziz Vardar, Founder of Banksy Museum:
“ He (Banksy) had a statement on Instagram that said ‘I will always allow the guys to make copies to preserve the art. So, I think we were the only ones making copies for re-creation. So, I think it was for us. Maybe not, but I hope for us.”
