JR

JR works at the intersection of photography, street art, filmmaking and social engagement. Over the last two decades he has developed multiple public projects and numerous site-specific interventions in cities all over the world: from buildings in the slums around Paris, to the walls in the Middle East and Africa or the favelas of Brazil. His recent solo exhibition, JR: Chronicles at the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, USA (2019) has since traveled to Saatchi Gallery, London, UK (2021), Groninger Museum, Netherlands (2021), Kunsthalle Munich, Germany (2022) and Lotte Museum, Seoul, South Korea (2023). Other solo projects include Les Enfants d'Ouranos at the Parrish Art Museum, Water Mill (2023), The Chronicles of San Francisco at SFMOMA, San Francisco (2019) and Momentum, la mécanique de l’épreuve at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris (2018).

JR is also the director of three full-length documentaries: Women Are Heroes (2011); the Academy Award-nominated Faces and Places (2017), co-directed by Agnès Varda; and most recently, Paper and Glue (2021).

JR “GHOSTS OF ELLIS ISLAND”, an Unframed project, short preview
Exhibition at Galerie Perrotin, Hong Kong
March 12 - April 25, 2015
                 
Galerie Perrotin, Hong Kong is pleased to present, “Ghosts of Ellis Island. An Unframed Project, Short Preview” an exhibition of works which document French artist JR’s latest Unframed project—a permanent installation which animates, enlivens and offers unprecedented access to New York’s Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital.
 
Open to the public for the first time since 1954, the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital facilitated the passage of a massive wave of immigration to the United States from 1902 to 1930. All told, over a million patients deemed too ill for immediate naturalization would pass through its walls. Having to screen for and treat a veritable catalogue of diseases from around the world would transform the hospital, the first public health facility in the country, into a test-case for then state-of-the art sterilization and diagnostic procedures. The program proved effective, though following tightened restrictions on immigration in the 1930s, the facility was repurposed to house disabled soldiers and, later, as a detention center for Axis prisoners following the Second World War. In 1954, outmoded and disused, the Hospital was shuttered, abandoned, and, until recently, largely forgotten.
 
Today, the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital stands much as it was abandoned; but after sixty years of silence and disrepair, local vegetation has begun to reclaim the grounds, introducing grass and vine to what must’ve once been a starkly modern facility. As the former setting for the confluence of illness and recovery, health and death, of prisoners and heroes, aspirations and disappointments, if any place might be said to be haunted, Ellis Island Hospital certainly meets all criteria. And it is from this heavily charged genius loci that JR, in coordination with Save Ellis Island, has undertaken “Unframed - Ghosts of Ellis Island.” As with previous Unframed projects (Grottaglie, Italy (2009), Vevey, Switzerland (2010), Sao Paulo, Brazil (2011), Washington, USA (2012), Marseille, France (2013)), JR does not compose his own photographs, but instead recuts existing photography, excising figures and portraits from their frames to recompose them in unexpected locales and public settings. The overall effect is equal parts stagecraft and public art, recalling the original photographs while redeploying them in such a way as to give them new life on confrontation with their viewers. With “Ghosts of Ellis Island” the manner in which the original subjects of JR’s source material are granted new life is perhaps even more direct: Culled from hospital archives, JR has repopulated the hospital with its former inmates, rendering its “ghosts” present and visible, and, in so doing, de-mystifying the very real sense in which the hospital is haunted with its own redolent history. Here, JR is less the artist as historian than he is artist as exorcist or ghost-seer, reconciling past, present, and viewer in artful communion.
 
On display in the present Hong Kong exhibition are four images taken from “Unframed – Ghosts of Ellis Island,” which serve to preview the New York project. All four images evince JR’s unique curatorial eye and talent for mise en scène. An organic sense for composition and lighting is matched with a talent for discovering and re-exposing the most immediately emotive of expressions and figures. In one image, through the remains of a multi-paned window, we are greeted by the sunlit faces of seven child patients, their hair wrapped, their expressions muted, their parents nowhere in sight. In another image, a sullen young woman is reinstalled on the wall behind his now rusted sickbed; she looks at us impatiently, even angrily, while an older woman, maybe an aunt or an older sister, sits at the foot of her bed disconsolate. The two of them blend into the crumbling discolored plaster as if exposed by careful excavation rather than having been applied by the artist after the fact. Elsewhere, a clan of dark-featured, prominent-eared immigrants poses stiffly, seriously for their portrait; they sit together, as if on a long bench, waiting by a ruined entrance to the hospital, the door still ajar. But in perhaps the most hopeful, though also potentially the most mournful image on display, the silhouettes of a small family can be seen standing just outside a floor length window; with their backs to us, husband, wife, and child look across New York Harbor at a distant Statue of Liberty. In another setting, a scene of this sort, so loaded with well-worn symbols, might come off as cliché or outright propagandistic; but rather than toning it down, JR has embraced the iconography, making deft use of the greatest advantage of his practice: reality. The Statue of Liberty in JR’s composition just is the Statute of Liberty; the window through which we are looking at her just is the window through which countless immigrants looked out at her too; and the little family before us truly was there, and remains there, still haunting the old hospital as three of the ghosts of Ellis Island.


JR exhibits freely in the streets of the world, catching pthe attention of people who are not typical museum visitors. In 2006, he created Portrait of a Generation, portraits of suburban “thugs” that he posted, in huge formats, in the bourgeois districts of Paris. In 2007, with Marco, he made Face 2 Face, the biggest illegal exhibition ever. JR posted huge portraits of Israelis and Palestinians face to face in eight Palestinian and Israeli cities. In 2008, he embarked on a long international trip for Women Are Heroes, in which he underlines the dignity of women who are often the targets of conflicts, and created The Wrinkles of the City. In 2010, his film Women Are Heroes was presented at Cannes. In 2011 he received the TED Prize, after which he created Inside Out, an international participatory art project that allows people worldwide to get their picture taken and paste it to support an idea and share their experience – as of September 2016, over 320,000 people from more than 139 countries have participated, through mail or gigantic photobooths. His most recent projects include a collaboration with New York City Ballet, a huge installation on the Pantheon in Paris, the pasting of a container ship or an exhibition on the abandoned hospital of Ellis Island. As he remains anonymous and doesn’t explain his huge full-frame portraits of people making faces, JR leaves the space empty for an encounter between the subject/protagonist and the passer-by/interpreter. That is what JR's work is about, raising questions…


JR

by JR by Francois Hebel - Director of the Rencontres photographiques d'Arles, France


JR’s pseudonym demonstrates both the humour and keen conscientiousness he brings to his work. He gave himself the same nickname as the character from the television series Dallas, the perfect example of abjectness and the emblem of capitalism at its most egotistic. He did so because he wanted to take on the system on its own playing field, attacking it from the inside, like an alien that we allow to settle in without understanding it right away, until he takes power and drags us into his message. He started as a graffiti artist. By photographing his friends holding spray cans and by pasting an illegal exhibition on Paris’s walls, JR became a photographer, poster artist and activist all at the same time; he became a synthesis of his era.
In 2005 when the Clichy-sous-Bois and Montfermeil suburbs in Paris erupted into violence, dragging a number of other French suburbs in their wake, the world media amplified the revolt. JR, 22 years old, grew up in a “calm” Parisian suburb that was a mix of individual homes and high-rise housing developments.
He felt the young people were experiencing an injustice. He himself had known the fear and elation of
living close to Paris without having access to its codes and of knowing his escapades were limited to
Auber or Halles.
He went to Clichy-sous-Bois and Montfermeil and used a wide-angle lens to take portraits of the suburban youth, asking them to make a funny faces. His photos were ironic representations of the images of enraged social misfits being broadcast by the media. His photography subjects dissolved into uncontrollable laughter and his images triggered such hilarity that whoever looks at them now can only feel sympathy for the subjects.
Then comes the stroke of genius. Undoubtedly because he found it futile to display fine prints for a small group of viewers, he recalled that public walls were his natural working space. He printed his photos as giant posters, accentuating the proximity of the characters. They gave off an intense presence and the laughter was almost audible.
JR discarded the fundamentals of the artistic process; he improves the process by rejecting it, creating a system for political discourse that is more precise and universal. His methods for distributing his images became more refined; he increased the involvement of the populations he defends and organised his financial freedom and autonomy. His work is heartening because it doesn’t seek to create the work at any price; it seeks to create a social link, to bring together communities, to make people more aware.
JR explores the flexibility of photography. At a time when everyone is obsessed with printing and quality is inspected by collectors, when the label “visual artist” can add value to the image before it is even viewed, JR couldn’t care less for such conventions. He evokes the flexibility of photography and explores all of its possibilities.
Posters are his medium, the centre of his work. Since he happens to be a good photographer, which wouldn’t have been important for his work, he photographs his installations in their environment to produce images that are then sold by his fashionable gallery, which is his main source of funds. The press is not an end in itself but rather is used, along with the Internet, to echo the event.
Without knowing it, JR is part of a tradition that started with Claude Bricage and his “Photographier la ville” project (Photograph the City) from the early 1980s. Both a photographer and activist, Bricage started one of the first initiatives in the French département of Seine-Saint-Denis, which would be carried on by a number of others. In order to show the evolution of the French suburbs, courses were created so that young people could learn about their environment. The exhibition was displayed outdoors in 120 x 180 cm format in the cities involved.
Martin Parr caused scandal in London with his “Signs of the Times” series on English taste. The photos, showing the interior design of British homes and quotes from their residents, were displayed on billboards throughout London and in tube stations, without any explanation.
Guy Le Querrec created the advertising for the suburban Jazz festival “Banlieues bleues,” once again in Seine-Saint-Denis, on a 4 x 3 m poster in the Metro. The poster was blank to begin with and was updated daily with a new small photo of each day’s concert.
When I was running Magnum, I drew inspiration from this movement twice. The day after the military intervention in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, in 1989, when journalistic coverage was forbidden, we worked with Stuart Franklin to offer the famous photo of the person in a white shirt stopping the tanks to Amnesty International for a poster that was widely distributed. During the conflict in Bosnia, when the Serbians had been in control of Sarajevo for several months and the press had shockingly stopped covering the events, I proposed to Gilles Peress the idea of surrounding Paris with 3 x 8 m posters showing two of his photographs of the residents with only the phrase “Sarajevo 300,000 hostages.”
September 11th gave rise to one of the most moving initiatives, in which amateur and professional photo¬graphers brought their photos of the Twin Towers, shot when digital photography was just beginning, and tacked them up on the wall or hung them from the ceiling of a shop. The exhibit, “Here is New York,” became a temple, a space for gathering and exchange where the images were sold at low prices to support the families of the victims.
And finally, Israeli graphic designer David Tartakover obtained photographers’ permission for the reuse of their press photographs to produce unique posters denouncing the war-makers in the Israel-Palestine conflict tirelessly, peacefully and with fury. He still displays them in a window at the same café in Tel Aviv.
These projects are all very distant from the art market and the press, and represent a truly alternative form of public information. The messages are simple, but cannot be indirect. The photographs are not cropped, captioned or titled to modify their meaning, as the press tends to do tactlessly.
While developing his process and applying it to places a further away from home, JR strove to involve the populations in the installation of his projects. He promised corrugated roofs, the media for his portraits, to the inhabitants of Kenyan shantytowns so that they would watch over the installation during its short-lived existence. In the favelas in Rio de Janeiro, he gave the inhabitants canvas cloths covered in images to make their shelters more waterproof.
JR is not an event photographer. He forces us to see phenomena that we usually ignore out of habit and resignation, because their absurd violence is long-lasting; his most recent struggle to make us question the position of women in societies where they are not equal to men comes to mind. He created drastically simplified portraits with enquiring, penetrating, watchful yet solemn expressions. The barer JR makes his designs, the clearer his message becomes. He draws our attention with a powerful installation and invades us with these expressions that tug at our conscience long after we see them.
JR is to the current era of photography what Nan Goldin was in the 1980s. He doesn’t seek to be a virtuoso. In each of his projects he seeks to act as a witness for a community. Using posters and installing them in the actual landscape of the featured crisis, he invents a new tool for distribution, similar to what Goldin did with her audiovisual projections in cafés.
JR doesn’t want glory; he prefers the anonymity and the collective adventure produced by his projects. He handles humour with courage and manipulates the press, the Internet and the art market to serve his purpose, which has the great value of being purely political, even if that word scares his generation. He takes a stand and forces us to see his point of view; he gets involved.
