Details

A powerful monograph on one of contemporary art's most socially engaged figures. JR: Can Art Change the World? (Phaidon, 2024) charts the anonymous French artist's evolution from teenage graffiti artist to global "photograffeur," known for monumental photographic installations that spotlight overlooked communities. Created in close collaboration with the artist, this updated edition features projects like The Chronicles of Miami (2023) and iconic series like Women Are Heroes and Inside Out. It also includes his collaborations with institutions such as the New York City Ballet, filmmaker Agnès Varda, and Time magazine. Essays by George Lucas, Nato Thompson, and Alice Rohrwacher, along with a graphic novel by Joseph Remnant, explore JR's belief in art as a platform for visibility, empathy, and activism.
