265 - JR (Paris, France, 1983).

JR (Paris, France, 1983). “28 Millimètres, Women Are Heroes, Action in Kibera Slum, Nairobi, Kenya,” 2009. 2018 edition. Color offset print on paper. Exhibition poster. Open edition, unsigned. Published by Galerie Perrotin, New York, on the occasion of the exhibition *Horizontal*, held in 2018. Dimensions: 40 x 50 cm. This image is part of the *Women Are Heroes* project, developed by JR to champion the dignity and visibility of women in disadvantaged communities. In 2009, the artist carried out a project in Kibera, one of Nairobi’s poorest neighborhoods, covering rooftops and train cars with monumental photographs of the faces of its residents. The composition, captured from a bird’s-eye view, shows a train car decorated with large female eyes, surrounded by the neighborhood’s homes and daily life. The contrast between the scale of the images and the urban setting makes the installation a powerful reflection on identity, representation, and the role of women in society. JR is one of the leading figures in contemporary urban art. His work combines photography, public art, and social engagement, with notable projects such as *Face 2 Face* (2007), *Women Are Heroes* (2008), and *Inside Out* (2011). A recipient of the TED Prize in 2011, he has exhibited at institutions such as the Brooklyn Museum in New York, SFMOMA in San Francisco, and the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris.
