Magnet JR, 2020

This magnet is part of the JR collection. Black and white, illusions, trompe-l’œil: all these elements feature in the simultaneously sober and striking work created for the Festival using his trademark media, photographs and paper. The edition’s poster is an image within an image, pierced through, not without malice, by a figure who echoes the curiosity of the spectators. This method, which JR calls Paper Portraits, is used since several years on the occasion of the Oscars.
