The 3D Rat first motif appeared on a theatre door during the 2010 Sundance Film Festival on the back door of the famous Egyptian Theater in Park City, Utah. Along with 3D Rat, a spate of other street art pieces including Cameraman and Flower and a giant Banksy tag across a billboard also appeared to coincide with the World premier of the Banksy film “Exit Through The Gift Shop”. In 3D Rat with Glasses and Fly we see a stylised rat, with beautiful grey and black tones, raised on its hindlegs admiring a swarm of flies that burst out of the image and onto the artist’s frame. The flimsy plastic glasses with their red and blue lenses use special photographs called anaglyph images, creating the illusion of depth. Here, Banksy creates the illusion of depth in the work with the fly escaping from the background of the board onto the foreground of the frame. Is this a comment on the lack of depth within commercial cinema or even within society?
