Banksy is a name that's synonymous with creativity, controversy, and a dash of mystery. His latest masterpiece, a giant statue in Waterloo Palace, has got everyone talking about how he managed to install it without being noticed. The area, designed to celebrate imperialism and military dominance in the 1800s, is now home to a stunning artwork that depicts a suited man walking off a plinth while carrying a flag that covers his face.

The artwork, which carries Banksy's signature, is situated near other famous statues, including Edward VII, Florence Nightingale, and the Crimean War Memorial. It's easy to imagine the confusion and wonder of social media users who spotted the statue overnight and had no idea how it got there so quickly.

But now, thanks to a video posted on Instagram, we have a glimpse into the secret behind Banksy's incredible installation. The video shows how the artist and his team worked together to install the supporting base for the statue, using a low-loader truck and a few skilled guys who can set up a Metallica concert in just 24 hours.

According to a Banksy expert, the crew had probably surveilled the area, worked out the best time to install it, and then snuck in under the cover of darkness. It's a testament to their skill and planning that the whole operation was completed in just a few minutes.

Banksy's true identity has never been confirmed, but a team of journalists at Reuters has made a strong case for a man named Robin Gunningham, a British artist from Bristol who later changed his name to David Jones. They pieced together evidence of his identity by tracing his trip to Ukraine and analyzing his fallout with a Jamaican photographer.

The theory that Banksy and Gunningham are the same man receives credence from a previous BBC interview, where Banksy revealed that his first name was 'Robbie'. It's a small detail, but one that adds weight to the theory that we may finally know the true identity of the world's most mysterious street artist.
