The Hills Have Eyes



French photographer and guerrilla artist JR works by photographing people covertly on the street, and then posting large paper reproductions of the photographs around the town where the people live. Needless to say, this is slightly more dangerous in the mean streets of the infamous favelas of Rio de Janeiro.

From France, JR’s work is as good as unique. His regular modus operandi is to bill-post giant, unexpected, monochrome photographs in positions of high visibility – including rooftops, church windows and along the sides of buses. The work has graced the covers of Liberation and The Financial Times. Its goal is clear; to assist viewers in recovering their humanity.
