在这些大胆的黑白影像中，来自多个国家的无名之辈终于有机会被世人看见——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在巴黎地铁里捡到一台被遗弃的相机。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展现人性光辉；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，那些漂浮的眼睛赞颂了女性令人难以置信的力量。JR认为肖像对被拍摄者具有变革性的意义。”它们是一种宣示存在的方式，”他解释道，但其意义远不止于此。它们时刻提醒着人们每个个体与生俱来的尊严，并能抵御那种疏离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）的项目向全世界分享他的创作方法。他邀请任何地方的任何人带着社会信息在自己的社区拍摄肖像。他的工作室随后将这些照片印制成大型海报，寄回给拍摄者并展示在公共空间中。迄今为止，已有逾30万张海报在140个国家张贴展出，一本名为《JR：由内而外》的新书也刚刚出版，记录并颂扬了这些行动的广度与影响力。”六年过去了，参与者的创造力每天仍让我叹为观止，”JR说道。
