２０２２年、ウクライナのホレンカ村に現れたバンクシーの作品。２０２２年11月13日撮影。 REUTERS/Gleb Garanich ［１３日 ロイター］ - 世界各地に作品を残している謎の芸術家バンクシー。ロイターは関係者への取材や資料に基づき、バンクシーは英南西部ブリストル出身の男性ロビン・ガニンガム氏だと結論づけた。 バンクシーの弁護士マーク・スティーブンス氏はロイターに対し、書面で「（バンクシーは）貴社の問い合わせに含まれる詳細の多くが正確であるとは認めていない」​と述べた。バンクシーの正体について肯定も否定もせず、取材内容を公表すればバンクシーのプライバシーを侵害し、芸術活動に支障をきたし、危‌険にさらすとして、公表を見送るよう要請した。 ロイターは、プライバシー侵害というバンクシーの主張、彼のファンの多くが匿名性の維持を望んでいるという事実を考慮した。報道活動で適用するあらゆる基準に照らしつつ、文化、アート業界、そして国際的な政治的議論にも深く永続的な影響力を持つ人物の素性や経歴を理解することについて、公衆が深い関心を持っていると判断した。 ＜宝探し＞...

Ionce shared​ a green room at a literary festival with an elderly American actor who said he didn’t know where he was, why he’d been invited or what he was supposed to do.

The situation was farcical but I imagined that if anyone took the risk and wrote about it comically, even as fiction, the Bad Taste Police would be on to them.
