JR is the enigmatic Parisian photographer/street artist/activist behind some of the world's most provocative large-scale public photography projects. JR first garnered international attention at age 27 when he won the TED Prize for his Inside Out Project, which has drawn nearly 200,000 participants internationally. His black-and-white portraits - pasted on buildings, streets, trains, and monuments - allow locals to have ownership of their surroundings.
