His oversize black-and-white portraits adorn walls, pavements, and rooftops from the suburbs of Paris to the favelas of Rio. With his ongoing Chronicles series, he aims to capture the essence of iconic cities in words and images. He began with a suburb of his native Paris and expanded upon the project in San Francisco. Now, he has set his sights on New York, his current home base. In 2018, JR set out onto the streets of New York with his mobile photo studio. Over TK# New Yorkers showed up to tell their stories, pose for the camera, and become part of this extraordinary project. Inspired by the work of Diego Rivera, JR then compiled the hundreds of individual portraits into an astounding mural, a portrait of the city, and installed it at the Brooklyn Museum in 2019. In this book, you'll see both the final mural and every individual photo, read a selection of compelling stories, and go behind the scenes to see how this incredible work was made"-- |
