Experiencing Banksy

Yes, this is one of the coolest things about New York. Just passing by Union Square, I saw both his "MacDonald's" and "Sirens of the Lambs" interventions. I actually didn't know this was him at first, and was not chocked at all since it was very political and extremely touching. 

The piece is one of the best I've seen in my entire life. The actors where fascinating - the "slave" meticulously polishing MacDonald's ever so shiny shoe, his face was truly empty. The farmer looked so untouched by the big crowd surrounding him. 

I was standing there for a good 10 minutes, soaking in all the emotions and detail he put into it. The sound of the stuffed animals was haunting with a slight touch of humor, the face of MacDonald was painted sad ... it was very intriguing.
