JR on His Documentary, Paper & Glue, at the 2021 Tribeca Festival | NOIAFT Exclusive Interview

World-renowned visual artist JR speaks with NOIAFT founder Taylor Taglianetti at the 2021 Tribeca Festival premiere of his new documentary, “Paper & Glue.”

About JR: One of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in 2018, JR is a visual artist who exhibits freely in the streets of the world, pasting huge portraits of anonymous people in unexpected places. His work is about raising questions and seeking an encounter between the subject and the passer-by.

About The Film: For French visual artist JR, the world is his canvas. Taking on the moniker of a photograffeur (French for a photographer/graffiti artist), JR’s large-scale mural portraiture has adorned streets from Paris to Rio, and was memorably captured in his 2017 Academy Award®-nominated collaboration with French New Wave icon Agnès Varda, "Faces Places."

With his follow up "Paper & Glue," JR turns the camera on his own work, as he undertakes massive installation efforts on the US-Mexico border, inside the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, on the courtyard of a supermax prison, and more. In each location, JR captures images of residents of these unique communities and memorializes them in striking, massive, black-and-white photo installations, in the process turning some of the most provocative spaces of the world into eye-catching immersive art that challenges perspectives and unites communities.
