‘Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for a print named APPLAUSE. This is taken from a Banksy sketch that frankly is a good deal more interesting than the painting ended up being. Kind of sexy, kind of smart, kind of sarcastic in a way you can afford to be if you’ve never spent six months floating in a giant tin can getting herpes defending the good name of queen and country.’
Applause shows two air traffic controllers preparing a fighter jet for take-off. This print is mostly monochromatic, except for the yellow vests, and the red sign that reads “APPLAUSE” to emphasize and accentuate the message. Perhaps, viewers should clap and celebrate as if they were attending or watching some game show.
