简介

本书是一本引人深思的语录集，汇集了法国著名摄影师、街头艺术家及社会活动家JR在各种访谈、文章及其他来源中的精彩言论。JR以其标志性的大型摄影装置闻名于世，例如在美国-墨西哥边境创作的儿童巨幅肖像，以及在加州监狱创作的大规模壁画。这本小书呈现了JR关于艺术创作、匿名性、社区与文化的深刻思考，展现了他超越传统艺术领域的工作理念。书中收录了如“艺术本不应改变世界，但它可以提供一种新视角，一种新的看法，打破我们之间建立的隔阂，并使‘他者’人性化”等语录，对理解这位艺术家的理念具有独特的价值。

JR-isms is a collection of compelling quotations from the French photographer, street artist, and activist JR, whose large-scale photographic installations have captured the imagination of people around the world. From his monumental portraits of children at the US–Mexico border to his large-scale murals at a California prison, JR‘s work challenges viewers to see the world differently. This pocket-sized book gathers quotations from JR’s interviews, articles, and other sources, offering insights into his thoughts on art, anonymity, community, and culture. As JR himself says: "Art is not supposed to change the world, but it can propose a new perspective, a new look, a way to break the barriers that we create between us and to humanize the 'other.'" This volume is an essential addition to any library of contemporary art and culture.
