JR - Face2face

Wild exposure I do not know if this term says something to you. Me, he did not say anything until to me I fall to the turning from a smart street from Paris on a photo wonder wave intensity from a black from a city from suburbs. Its great smile and its grimace narguaient me. I looked around me, on a palisade out of sheet, place of the town hall, ten model portraits king-size were posted with the sight of all, without anything else. I am thus informed to know from which only came these photographs, which was the author and what they made there, on this palisade. A wild exposure is assembled, in the light of the standard lamps, in places which do not have anything a showroom. Thus work JR and its wonder wave intensity team.

JR carried wonder wave intensity a report, 28mm, on the young people of Montfermeil and Clichy-sous-bois, two grosses quoted of the Paris region. It took these portraits with the great angle while asking the young people to make grimaces. These photographs black and white show us a generation in difficulty under a comic aspect, each mouth appears sympathetic nerve to us, each mimicry gives us the smile, far from the stereotypes which one could have. In its book (28mm with the alternate edition), the young people express themselves, they say all which them life is hard in their suburbs but fleshlight video personnal masturbation they wish to leave.

Its second project, Face2face, are a wild exposure of with dimensions Israélien and Palestinian. The portraits of the two people are always taken with the 28mm, and there are always the grimaces. JR wishes to fleshlight video personnal masturbation the two people which they are not so different.

With its beautiful portraits, comic and tenderizing, JR shows us a beautiful humanistic work, with a beautiful point of humour!
