Two new JR lithographs available on Social Animals
From December 3rd, 2021
Since December 3rd, two new lithographs by JR are available on Social Animals.
The first one is from JR’s project Women are Heroes. In 2007, JR went to the Kibera slum in Nairobi, Kenya to photograph and interview the women.
He returned there in 2009 and covered a whole train with their eyes. The bottom half of their faces was pasted on corrugated sheets on the slope down from the tracks - the images of the eyes matching the faces have become some of JR's most famous. Over 2,000 square meters of rooftops were also covered with the eyes and faces of women from Kibera.

The second lithograph is from The Wrinkles of the City, a world-scale project aimed to be presented in various cities around the world where “wrinkles”, human as well as architectural, can be found.
Precious relic of the passage of time, age appears on the walls of Cartagena, Spain, in the fall of 2008. The oldest inhabitants of the Spanish town are pasted on the heights of the city. Faces of men that suffered from the civil war stand on the historical facades.
