Like an insurmountable barrier | Comme une barrière infranchissable

Banksy left his mark on the city of Calais during his visit in 2015. In the midst of the Calais jungle crisis (migrants from Syria arriving in droves to try to go to England and finding themselves stranded in Calais in the inability to cross the Channel), he offers us a little boy, suitcase at his feet, looking at the English coast. A vulture is perched on its spyglass. This is the end of the journey for him ...

 

Banksy, an English artist, is certainly the most famous street artist in the world. He has over 2 million people following him on social media. As soon as he leaves his mark in a city, it is the frenzy among photographers. He is the best known but no one knows his face, no one knows who he is.

Banksy a laissé son empreinte dans la ville de Calais lors de son passage en 2015. En pleine crise de la jungle de Calais (les migrants de Syrie remontant en masse pour tenter d'aller en Angleterre, et se retrouvant bloqués à Calais dans l’incapacité de franchir la Manche), il nous propose un garçonnet, valise à ses pieds, regardant les côtes anglaises. Un vautour est perché sur sa longue-vue. C’est le bout du voyage pour lui ...

 

Banksy, artiste anglais, est certainement le street-artist le plus connu au monde. Il a plus de 2 millions de personnes à le suivre sur les réseaux sociaux. Dès qu’il laisse son empreinte dans une ville, c’est la frénésie chez les photographes. C’est le plus connu mais personne ne connaît son visage, personne ne sait qui il est.
