Produktbeschreibung
JR, a globally renowned artist, transforms public spaces into universal galleries through large-scale participatory projects, cinematic collaborations, and striking installations, with this book highlighting his impactful work in New York City. JR uses the street as a canvas for his monumental photographic collages. His participatory projects (28 Millimeters, Face 2 Face, ...) involve local communities. He launched Inside Out, a worldwide project inviting everyone to express themselves through images. He also explores cinema (Visages, Villages with Agnès Varda, awarded in Cannes) and creates spectacular installations (Louvre, Rio Olympics). His committed art, somewhere between poetry and activism, transforms public space into a universal gallery. This book puts New York in the spotlight. Since 2006, JR's collages have marked the life of New York, and several of his most important projects have been set up in this cosmopolitan city: Unframed at Ellis Island, in collaboration with Robert de Niro (2014), The Chronicles of New York City in front of the Brooklyn Bridge (2024), or the immense collaborative collages, such as the one in Times square or Flatiron plaza. An introductory text by The New Yorker's editorial director, Françoise Mouly, offers a fresh look at this work.
Autorenporträt
French artist JR transforms Paris into an open-air gallery with his monumental photographic collages. Since 2009, he has reimagined the city's iconic monuments—making the Louvre Pyramid disappear, wrapping the Panthéon and Opéra Garnier, and transforming the Eiffel Tower. His participatory interventions invite people to become both authors and spectators of their city's transformation. These ephemeral architectural collages change how we see and interact with our urban heritage. This collection captures over a decade of JR's most spectacular Parisian projects, each asking: Can art transform our relationship with the city we inhabit?
