2023, USA, 93′
Presented at Secret Florence 2024
The film sheds light on a reality that is difficult to access and raises questions about the effectiveness of art in changing the world and its impact on the people involved. Thanks to the creation of the JR:murals app, the photographic installation is still visible today and is accompanied by a series of audio recordings featuring first-person accounts of the stories of those portrayed in the images.
JR (Paris, 1983) studied at Stanislas High School before starting his career as an adolescent graffiti artist. His pseudonym represents the initials of his name (Jean René) and alludes to the main character of the American TV series, Dallas. Active since 2004, he is one of the most renowned international street artists, author of projects such as Portrait d’une génération (2004-2006), Face 2 Face (2007) and Inside Out (2011-2017).
