JR
28 Millimetres : Women Are Heroes in Kibera Slum
Mutiple Photographic Prints, Wheat paste
A village
January 2009
JR shows the beauty of humanity by taking awkward yet stunning photos of every-day people and then pasting huge verisons of them all over town. In doing so he is removing the walls that seperate people and replacing them with images of the very people that hide behind them. He is reminding people that what trully makes a city has nothing to do with buildings, but has to do with the people who live within them.
