Today I happen to drift through my tumblr to find this.
Incredibly intriguing in fact. I thought it was one of Christian Louboutin's sales strategy to have graffiti over their facade, but this was too fugly to promote anything and the person responsible behind it was someone who is known by "KIDULT"
Now I don't know ANYTHING about him, I've seen a footage of him doing his thing.
Link to the video is up there, and as I was watching it, I started to question a lot. What was his purpose defiling the facades of luxury brand. What was his message exactly, what was he trying to say that millions of people haven't already pointed out. Is this really an effective move or is it in vain? Could this anarchist movement be brought to a further level with graffiti like Banksy has. Opposing against commercialism he wouldn't claim any authenticity over his work if people tried to sell it.
Rather then having splayed meaningless scribbles over the facades of the luxury stores. I think maybe he just wanted to cause further inconvenience to these stores and raise awareness. Of course knowing the underlying reason, raising the million dollar ethical question morally daunting that's been discoursing for eons. There are millions of people out there suffering, who needed the money more then we did but why do we spend them on things we don't need?
But why aim the stores? True corruption is a massive thing when it comes to dealing with everything, people always want more, demand more get greedy, but is it possible to diminish corruption without getting rid of the form of government. So many questions to be answered but will never be answered.
