fluoro is giving away a copy of JR: Can Art Change The World?, the world?s first major, in-depth retrospective monograph on JR, the enigmatic and semi-anonymous Parisian street-artist and photographer.
JR started his career as a teenage graffiti artist, using the streets of Paris as his canvas. His focus shifted to the medium of photography after he found a camera on the Paris Subway. He began documenting the act of graffiti in Paris before he travelled extensively throughout Europe taking his camera with him. The stimulus clicked, and today he?s well known for a medium that blends photography and graffiti, a title he has coined as photograffeur. While his true identity remains unknown, his large-scale photographic works are seen globally.
