French artist turns global streets into one major gallery
JR’s art: “My role is ephemeral because once I’m gone, it’s up to the inhabitants to explain the photos.” Photo/CORRESPONDENT
Placing huge photo collages in places as diverse as Kenyan slums, Brazilian shanty towns, a bus in Sierra Leone, and the Israeli separation wall, the French artist JR makes the street into one big gallery.
He recently won the TED prize and his new film, “Women are Heroes,” opens on January 12.
