在这些大胆的黑白影像中，来自多个国家的无名之辈得以被看见——这一切都源于法国摄影师兼艺术家JR的创作。
2004年，法国艺术家JR在巴黎地铁上捡到了一台废弃的相机。从那以后，他便开始拍摄人们的黑白肖像，并将这些超大尺寸的图像张贴在世界各地的墙壁、脚手架、屋顶及其他各种表面上。在巴黎，他的作品让居住在公共住宅区的年轻人得以彰显人性；在中东，他的展览强调了以色列人与巴勒斯坦人之间的共同之处；在巴西里约热内卢和肯尼亚基贝拉等城市，那一双双悬浮的眼睛颂扬了女性令人难以置信的力量。JR认为，肖像对被拍摄者而言具有变革性的意义。”它们是一种表达’我存在’的方式，”他解释道，但其意义远不止于此。它们时刻提醒人们每个个体所固有的尊严，并能抵御将他人疏远与非人化的本能冲动。
作为2011年TED大奖得主，JR决定通过一个名为”由内而外”（INSIDE OUT）的项目向世界分享他的创作方式。他邀请任何地方的任何人，带着社会信息去拍摄所在社区的肖像。他的工作室随后将这些照片印制成大型海报，寄回给参与者，供其在公共场所展示。迄今为止，已有超过30万张海报在140个国家张贴展出，一本全新的书籍《JR：由内而外》也刚刚出版，以此庆祝这些行动的广度与影响力。”六年后的今天，参与者们的创造力依然每天都令我惊叹，”JR说道。
