living in the U.S., France's Thierry Guetta has the obsession with all his steps and events in his environment with the camera to be recorded. By his cousin, he is the first time with the emerging street art motion in contact. He accompanied it on his nightly trips through the city, learning about other artists and captures their actions on video. As Thierry almost every street performers he knows, has captured on video, he meets the phantom of the Scene: Banksy, who is quickly through his subversive and sometimes costly actions to a larger audience. He decides to make the impossible true and tried to contact the record are more in the background resident artists. When he succeeds in turning the tables on Banksy simple enough and soon a video camera on the French, but he holds so much more interesting than themselves. When it comes to the issue of street art, then it does not come over to Banksy. Many asoziieren the concept right away and first with the English artist, the pure "graffiti" on houses added and / or billboards helped more important. After all, takes place through him more and more street art in upscale districts of the art scenes, and even at auctions. This is the Streetartguru, whose true identity is still not really settled, has been accused by some people from the scene of the commercial sell-out. But if really good art can respond to messages just the masses, then virtually almost every artists to fight no matter what division so. Exit Through The Gift Shop also
his film debut and is expected to really someone who is seeking to conceal his true identity as much as possible that he just came with this film as much limelight urges? The film is a real mischief and knows it very cleverly, to play with the expectations of his audience. Furthermore Exit Through The Gift Shop is also a skilful interplay of reality and perception, as the boundaries between "Documentary" and "mockumentary" flowing. What the heck is already a reality? And what about this oblique Frenchman, who gradually becomes more and more the center of the film? The movie will stand firm on some issues remain a sticking even after watching something else in mind.
subtle of Banksy here takes the hype surrounding street a bead and the commercialization of art has a little mirror to her face. The director holds back, is only here and there into the picture to his views on Guetta, whose nature of the audience share. Lieber is allowed because the various film clips and excerpts speak, show us a man who would be well by many people simply dismissed as eccentric. Wherever he is, he takes with the camera. Every event he has to hold, even if it is in itself no matter how banal. The full tapes it describes the film, then hoarding it, unseen in boxes. Sometimes he even labeled the tapes, sometimes. As had no Gedächtis Guetta, it seems his aim to give moments to capture for eternity. This is explained by a traumatic experience that probably results in you this time filmmaker always viewed with some suspicion. But he delivers but got some pictures of his cousin, who is traveling with the stage name of Space Invader in the scene, and his cronies from their actions. It is dedicated to something in passing the kinds of people from this subculture, and they can be accompanied by the documentary nature of the audience to witness the emergence of these new works of art. Exit Through The Gift Shop
pays homage to this so great here, guerrillahaftigen art form, however, remains on the surface. It is not gone deeper into the Marterie. Appetizers are served here, but also because Guetta did not properly able to deal with the statements of the artists or their intentions. He finds it only by and by interesting, and accompanied his cousin, also only just so he can shoot just a little. He can get out and therefore unique and can only satisfy his obsession. He told the artists when they ask him why he almost always takes the camera and captures everything on video, a documentary that he plans of street art. It is the heart of the film, Phantom of Banksy, and quickly makes this the "wrong" French in the center. The eyes of the art world are already on this man. It almost seems as if wondering Banksy here now, why should everyone in this film must stare at him. Nevertheless, it is exposed to the fascination of the phenomenon here. The actions, when mounted in Disney country disguised as a Guantanamo prisoner doll at an attraction, a destroyed phone booth somewhere hinstellt in London or decorated in crisis areas walls with his art: secretly captures the audience him for his audacity to celebrate. But before he too much under the spotlight, it just changes the course of Guetta and moves to the forefront. Not only did this to us with its somehow quite charming accent of his first contact with street art, be informed but then has increased interest in this art form and especially to its most famous representatives of Banksy, he takes a central point in the film. Still more, is out of the silent observer in all of his passivity is now an active participant in the scene. Banksy on the advice also points Thierry tries as a street artist. rotates Here Exit Through The Gift Shop the plain little and out of the Mock-Documentary and is also a smaller, but still with enough toxic Irony equipped comment on the art itself and the handling of the street-hype. Banksy himself rejects Galleries like you would the art business in and of itself, but really not one be this thing, unfortunately, never deny. It seems as if he wanted to give this work a little air and bring in greater detail his thoughts on a wide audience.
So he is as a Dampfplauderer Guetta is a superficial person anyway, who had previously been interested in trading it through his clothes to earn quick coals. He wants to start under the pseudonym Mr. Brainwash equal from 0 to 100 in no time there to be a great visionary, but remains only a Copyist. Someone who can trending well. He explained at the beginning that he could make good money with fake clothes. And even if he invests a lot of dough for art: he appears from the work of others, can be a little pop and street art of the last decades of his hired artists to change and can culminate this all in a pompous exhibition. Thierry is fast, the new, acclaimed star of the scene that actually observed in subversive and highly alternative way today's society and commented on. But how fast something even a cog in the machinery of capitalism and the art is commercialized, we see just the example of Guetta. With sarcastic Undertones Banksy commented later in the career of the once piefigen, video-obsessed French.
He also commented with subliminal Exit Through The Gift Shop the art, is the hype about people like him in question and to exaggerate it. It gets a little tiring in the course, watching Guetta at his work and work, but the comments of his companions, and above all Banksys make it, that the interest it remains unresolved. The failure of a person who has understood nothing of this kind of art, but it quickly earned a living, is here extensively documented. Comment could have been there to something snappier. Without any of the Doubt very coherent film, partly as flippant as well as he is chosen as the theme of art, therefore, remains therefore a satire Light in terms of this aspect. The technical point of quickly and adapted to the urban theme with some kind of rapid editing sequences, which then slides over to quieter passages is selected to be very appropriate. With a smile on your face while you let the film after its end, still a little while in his head and say it just "Well done, Mr. Banksy. The artist is not a stroke of genius succeeded. It could have been more hearty and can be in direct comment about the art scene, but all in all and is the debut work of the Britain was a successful, good documentary.
