2011 TED Prize Winner: JR

I adore Fashion photography but I would not consider myself well enough informed about it and that is something that I need to improve on. 


This work however really caught my attention. I love the idea of these guerrilla photographers who paste these powerful images throughout the streets. The use of paper provides ephemeral qualities and highlight the transience of human life (and life in general).


''JR exhibits his photographs in the biggest art gallery on the planet. His work is presented freely in the streets of the world, catching the attention of people who are not museum visitors. His work mixes Art and Action; it talks about commitment, freedom, identity and limit.'' Quote the YouTube channel
