When French photographer-turned-street artist JR visited Tokyo in May, he commented, "I love the vibe here but I don't see enough art in the street." His latest project, "Inside Out," may lead the way to help change this.
Earlier this year, JR received the TED Prize, a $100,000 grant awarded annually to help fund its winner's work on a collaborative project that mobilizes people to take action for a common cause. As TED — the California-based conference to which inspiring thinkers are asked to present their ideas — explains it on their website, the prize was designed to bring to life its winner's "One Wish to Change the World."
JR's wish is, " ... for you to stand up for what you care about by participating in a global art project, and together we'll turn the world ... INSIDE OUT."
