KRAM2 (1981) - BANKSY IN MARSEILLE

BANKSY IN MARSEILLE: On a wall in Marseille, Banksy painted a lighthouse. Simple, straight, silent but bright. With these words: “I want to be what you’ve seen in me.” A vulnerable, universal truth. Then some taggers came by. And added a pair of very visible testicles. Vulgar? Maybe. Provocative? Certainly. Useless? Not really. I’m not saying it’s good or bad. I’m just asking questions. Here’s another one: Why do we preserve street art when it comes from a globally famous unknown, but erase other voices, other messages, from anonymous hands? Perhaps they had something to say too. That’s street art: it doesn’t hide. It throws itself into the world. It’s not protected. It’s public. It’s alive. When you paint in the street, you know anyone can add, distort, remix. And sometimes, like here, someone answers. With humor, with provocation, or simply by instinct. It might be crude. It might be absurd. But it’s still a response. And that’s what makes it alive.
