This print depicts a hunting scene where animals are replaced by supermarket trolley carts.

While primitive men hold spears at the commercial trolley, this object seems to look back at them: still, lifeless but defiant. This powerful image makes us question the ways of consumption and how we obtain our primary food resources. Not leaving behind the question of our own capacity as food providers.

In comparison with Sale Ends Today, Trolleys is more compassionate towards the consumers. At least it imbues man with a certain power and more free will than the religious fervor towards consumerism that Sale Ends Todayportrays.

The Banksy print Trolleys (or Trolley Hunters) was originally released as part of the LA edition accompanying Banksy’s Barely Legal show in 2006. This first incarnation of Trolleys was unsigned, and numbered out of 500. There are a limited number of signed prints from the LA Edition in circulation (low edition numbers and proofs), but these didn’t go on general sale.
