JR'S TED TALK

jr ted talks

Fully committing to an idea is hard. Even harder is reducing an idea to its simplest form so it can spread and reach others. Thats what we admire most about JR’s work. His up-close-in-your-face photography has given a voice to the voiceless and empowered people with control of their own story.

This year JR was awarded the 2011 TED Prize for his exceptional work and he spoke about the art he produced around the world. We could go on to describe it, but JR does it best. The only thing that matches his charisma and enthusiasm is the beauty of his large-format photography placed in the most unexpected places. Click Read More to watch his TED Talk. We also have additional photos of his work that he pasted throughout LA while in town for the presentation.
