    Trolleys is a sharp satire that captures Banksy’s signature mix of graffiti, street art, and irony. Three prehistoric men are shown poised to attack - not wild beasts, but shopping trolleys. The absurdity bites: have we come to rely so deeply on consumerism to survive?
     
    Set against a barren desert backdrop, the piece pokes fun at how far modern life has drifted from nature and self-sufficiency. Trolley Hunters remains a timeless critique of capitalism and our dependence on the supermarket over the spear.

    – Banksy, Wall and Piece

    Banksy’s Trolleys (also known as Trolley Hunters) stages a prehistoric hunting scene with an absurd twist. Three cavemen crouch in a barren desert, weapons raised and ready to strike, but their prey is not an animal – it’s a set of supermarket shopping trolleys. By replacing a source of survival with a symbol of consumption, Banksy skewers the absurdity of modern dependence on mass consumer culture. The stark desert backdrop heightens the contrast between primal instinct and contemporary habit, turning the hunt into a satire of capitalism, convenience, and the detachment from nature.
