Stake attention in this memory
The image is a close-up photograph of a white wall with text printed on it. The text is a quote from a book called "The Black Books" by Banksy. The quote reads: “Nobody ever listened to me and I used to think that was their fault. Eventually I got to realize maybe it was the fact I was boring and paranoid that was the problem. But you find that people who know you rarely listen to a word you say, even though they’ll happily take as gospel the word of a man they’ve never met if it’s on a record or in a book. If you want to say something and have people listen then you have to wear a mask. If you want to be honest then you have to live a lie.” The coordinates provided (latitude: 32.065, longitude: 34.77) correspond to a location in the city of Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel. The text is written in black ink on a white wall. The background of the image is a blurry, out-of-focus scene of what appears to be a room with brown furniture. The text is centered on the wall. There is a smaller caption under the quote that says "In 2002, Banksy seems already to have had a clear idea of the direction he wanted his artistic action to take." There is another quote below that reads, "A wall is a very big weapon. It's one of the nastiest things you can hit someone with." There is a column on the right-hand side of the image with the heading "Wall". This column discusses the history of wall art, including the use of walls for art in caves, and the cases of painting and chiseling on walls in the Italian Renaissance and the 1900s for Mexican and Italian murals. The text is in English. There are no people in the image.
