Banksy Pet Store

Village Pet Store

Street-artist Banksy has stepped inside for his latest thought-provoking project. A few years ago, Liverpool was the canvas for Banksy, as he daubed a host of guerilla artwork around the city (including this giant rat!), but this latest project takes his work in a whole new direction. He’s opened a shop in New York called The Village Petstore and Charcoal Grill, which is meant to be a commentary on our relationship with animals and food. It’s pretty surreal and features animatronic animals and food mixing together. The strangest has got to be the chicken nuggets! It needs to be seen to be believed. There’s a good report of the event over on the BBC site.
