Visual Culture: Banksy's Month-Long NYC Romp To Be Chronicled In HBO Documentary 'Banksy In NY'

NYC locals remember that 30-day stretch last year, where British street-art legend Banksy made our concrete slabs into his personal canvas. Every morning we'd wake up to find out that he'd pulled a new stunt, scouring our Twitter and Facebook feeds for a clue as to where his latest installation was located. For a month, he figured out how to turn our city into his playground, sending us on a street art scavenger hunt unlike anything the world had ever seen. The installations ranged from the LES' materialized landscape in the back of a semi to that strange stuffed animal statement against the meatpacking industry to that time he made bubble letters of his name out of actual bubble letters.

All of these antics have apparently been captured in a documentary filmed and directed by Chris Moukarbel, which will mark exactly the second time the artist has ever showed his face onscreen (the first being his adored street art doc Exit Through The Gift Shop Door.) The documentary Banksy In NY will air on HBO in November, just be ready to relive that stellar summer, decommissioned art sales and all. Watch the trailer below.
