"When you look at my work over the past 10 years, you can see I've always tried to leading people in my actions, both in the process as in the picture. For example, in a recent project entitled Unframed, I even pasted pictures on the walls that were not mine, but belong to classics in the history of photography. My starting point is not located in whom portrayed, but what to do with the images ... Inside out is the result of that process. Now, people make the pictures and are themselves taking an active attitude of glue around the world. I only take care of printing. But also set the overall framework of the whole project. "
JR is the most famous street artist from Banksy. In its draft project Inside out invites to anyone who wants to participate to send a black and white photograph of his own face or another person on a neutral background. JR will return in the form of a poster of 90 by 135 centimeters on the condition that the applicant undertakes to display it in a public place and documented impact with another photo that will serve as part of the catalog of global art project.
Here you can see the video of the project and where upload photos.
"We are witnessing a very important time to undertake changes, one must look at the Arab world and in power who have shown the arms of the Internet. It is very easy to say in Facebook you're a Democrat, but take action and paste your image through the streets as part of the struggle for democracy and let you see, is a step beyond that not everyone is ready to assume. So when you see a picture on the wall you have to realize the amount of energy and courage that people have put into it. "
