// Banksy’s Barcode (2004) is a limited edition screenprint that critiques consumerism and the commodification of nature. The artwork features a leopard pulling a large barcode, which appears to be strapped to a wheeled platform. The juxtaposition of the wild animal and the barcode, a symbol of consumer goods, emphasizes the impact of commercialism on wildlife and natural habitats. Banksy’s characteristic use of stark black-and-white stenciling creates a powerful and clear visual message, while the image's simplicity allows for a broad range of interpretations. This unsigned edition was released in an edition of 600 and remains a significant commentary on the exploitation of both nature and society in the pursuit of profit.
