lying for a living

Graffiti artist Banksy makes his point about Britain’s ubiquitous surveillance cameras… under the gaze of one.

Banksy pulled off an audacious stunt to produce what is believed to be his biggest work yet in central London.

The secretive graffiti artist managed to erect three storeys of scaffolding behind a security fence despite being watched by a CCTV camera.

Then, during darkness and hidden behind a sheet of polythene, he painted this comment on ‘Big Brother’ society.

Of course, his ability to get away with it might also indicate that CCTV cameras don’t actually prevent crime, vandalism, or art.
