JR’s Inside Out Project at Centre Pompidou in Paris

JR went to the Israel/Palestinian border, photographed people on each side making caricatures of themselves and then posted oversized photo printouts on the opposite side. Winner of the 2011 Ted Prize, he has taken this concept to the streets of Africa and the slums of South America, and now you can get involved this summer at the Pompidou Centre.
