Using unexpected canvasses, French artist JR intends to give a global voice to everyday people through a genre-blending combination of public art, photography and large format spectacle. You might have seen JR’s works in Phnom Penh, where he worked on his project “Women are Heroes” more than a decade ago. The artist is best known for his site-specific public interventions, which usually feature large-scale, black-and-white photographs overlaid on building façades, stadium seats, and a variety of other architectural and landscape features. His practice often comments on such issues as incarceration, immigrant rights, and poverty—yet JR infuses his work with joy and hope for change. The documentary PAPER AND GLUE (2021, 94 min) tells inspiring stories behind JR’s monumental, creative, socially conscious immersive art. The film has been directed by the artist himself.
