#BanksyNY 9: Biggest #BanksyNY Piece Yet Appears on LES, With “Wikileaks” Audio Guide


October 9, 2013 | Andy Cush

Here’s the latest piece in Banksy’s Better Out Than In series. It’s a lot bigger than what we’ve seen before, spanning the sides of both a car and what looks like the back of a box truck, and depicts three horses wearing night vision goggles along with warplanes, crosshairs, and anguished-looking people. It’s somewhere on the Lower East Side.

UPDATE: Found it. 159 Ludlow Street, near the corner of Stanton. Here’s what the inside of the car looks like. It’s a Mazda. See more in the gallery.

Notably, the “audio guide” is playing sound ripped from the “Collateral Murder” footage leaked by Chelsea Manning and published by Wikileaks, which documented American soldiers firing on Reuters journalists and a van with children inside. Listen below.

How long before this one gets tagged up towed away?
