About this artwork

In 2017 Banksy opened the Walled Off Hotel overlooking Israel's West Bank wall. According to Banksy, this hotel has "the worst view in the world." This boxset is a part of the project, featuring a print with an Israeli military watchtower being used as a swing ride. Children are sitting in the seats, smiling and putting their hands in the air. On the bottom of the boxset is a real piece of concrete wall. The watchtower is part of the Israeli West Bank wall. Israel refers to it as a "security measurement"to protect their citizens against terrorist attacks. Palestinians consider the wall a form of apartheid. The print is a clever way of highlighting this duality.
