    JR Trompe l'oeil, Les Falaises du Trocadéro, 25 mai 2021, 22h18, Paris, France, 2021 2021 Giclée Print Laminated with G-gloss, Mounted on 3mm Dibond 64 × 96 cm (25.2 × 37.8 in) In mint condition Edition of 472 Signed by JR on the bottom right corner (stamp and lead) Accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity In mint condition, as acquired from the publisher We are delighted to introduce you to JR's latest art editions; which are based on his installation Les Falaises de Trocadéro at the Parvis des Droits de l'Homme, from 17 May to 19 June 2021 in Paris. With Les Falaises de Trocadéro JR continues his reflection on architecture and excavation of iconic monuments, imagining a trompe l'oeil revealing a street below a large precipice topped by the iconic Eiffel Tower. Through this work, JR redefines the codes of the urban landscape and invites spectators to apprehend their environment differently. The artwork renews itself according to the various lights of day, with each moment offering a new perspective on Paris’ most famous monument, the Eiffel Tower. The latter remains the central element of the composition, but the illusion of an underground city is a new myth, adding to the long list of its rich history. JR continues to reveal the monuments of Paris in a new light by sublimating them and inviting spectators to take a fresh look at their everyday environment. JR used an anamorphosis technique, requiring the audience and volunteers to be at a precise point resulting in spectators trying to find the perfect location and interacting with the artwork, hoping not to fall into the imagined precipice. JR JR is a photographer and artist whose identity is unconfirmed. After he found a camera in the Paris subway...
