Nice work from the 2010 TED prize winner but not nearly as good as his installations in Kenya and Paris.
From My Modern Met...
JR's L.A. visit marks the third installment of his expansive project, The Wrinkles of the City. The first two were in Cartagena, Spain, and Shanghai in 2010.
The series consists of raw photographs of residents selected through mutual friends, a casting call, and man-on-the-street interviews.
"This is a city where everything is about image," JR tells LA Weekly. "Where people have Botox and fight against aging, I can bring big wrinkles and hang them on the buildings of the city -- in contrast to the big advertisements. Los Angeles' definition of beauty is being transformed by these people this week."
