JR wanders collecting testimonies from the elderly, taking their portraits and pasting them on the walls of their city in enormous formats. In this book, JR reminds us that everyone has a story to tell, that beneath our well-constructed lives we are all beautifully wrinkled, and that we are all witnesses to the triumphs and outrages of our generation.
By JR and Louise Berrebi
Los Angeles : fueled by the striving for spray-tanned perfection, where image and youth are a currency greater even than the almighty dollar. Many say LA is a superficial place. It can be. But to look beyond the entertainment industry's obsession with celebrity and airbrushed beauty and fresh-faced effervescence is to see the millions of anonymous people who are the true heart and soul of this city.
