JR - MIGRANTS, WALKING NEW YORK CITY. NEW YORK, USA (2015) Date of creation: 2019 Medium: Digital print on Canadian maple wood Edition: 250 Size: 80 x 20 cm (each skate) Condition: In mint conditions and never displayed This work is formed by five skate decks made of 7 ply grade A Canadian maple wood. This set belongs to a numbered limited edition of 250. The art of JR merges photography, installation, street art and social engagement. Following his 2014 work on Ellis Island, where the artist created a series of portraits of immigrants and displayed them at the island's abandoned hospital, the artist took some pictures of immigrants walking the streets of New York. The artist focused on the picture taken to Elmar Aliyev a 20-year-old waiter from Azerbaijan who immigrated to the United States after he won the green-card lottery. One night in 2015, JR and his team pasted 62 strips of paper on the ground of the Flatiron Plaza, creating a 150-foot-tall image of Aliyev. That day people walked on his image and, just like many other immigrants, Aliyev was invisible to them. ABOUT THE ARTIST JR is a French artist known for his large-scale photographic works that often address social and political issues. Born on February 22, 1983, in Paris, JR grew up in the banlieues, or suburbs, surrounding the city. He first became interested in graffiti as a teenager and began creating large-scale murals in the streets. After studying at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, he began experimenting with photography and street art. In 2004, JR found his calling when he started the "Portrait of a Generation" project, a series of black-and-white portraits of young people from the banlieues. He pasted these portraits on walls and rooftops throughout the city, often in unexpected places, to give visibility to a group of people who were often marginalized in French society. The project quickly gained attention and was featured in a number of exhibitions and publications. In 2007, JR began working on "Face 2 Face," a project that involved pasting portraits of Israelis and Palestinians face to face on both sides of the Separation Wall in the West Bank. The project was meant to challenge preconceived notions and promote dialogue between the two communities. The portraits were also displayed in various cities around the world, including Paris, Berlin, and New York. JR continued to push the boundaries of street art and photography with his "Women Are Heroes" project in 2008. This project consisted of large-scale portraits of women from different countries, which were pasted on walls and buildings in their communities. The project aimed to celebrate women and draw attention to their struggles and the injustices they face around the world. In 2011, JR collaborated with the film director Agnès Varda on the documentary film "Faces, Places," which followed the two artists as they traveled through rural France and created large-scale portraits of the people they met along the way. The film was a critical and commercial success, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. In recent years, JR has continued to create large-scale photographic works that engage with social and political issues. In 2018, he created an installation at the US-Mexico border consisting of a giant photograph...
