For the pictures covering the rooftops, he used water resistant material so they can be used as tarpaulin. It was quite a success as in 2009, they covered 2000 square meters, and another 1800 in 2010. He comes back almost every year, work with the local MSF office so i really doubt that people over there think he did a mess. YOu can check on google earth to see the rooftops... Maybe the first pictures pasted in 2007 were the usual cheap paper and were left behind, but the project developed in Kibera in from 2009 is completely different and had an impact on the community. He also produced a book in 2010 for the women of Kibera and all the copies were distributed in the community.
Hey, can you actually drive me through how to be able to see the rooftops on google earth ? What do I type excactly in the bar ? Just Kibera ?

JR โข Inside Out, by Deleted on Feb 21, 2013 7:31:10 GMT 1, I live at 10 mn walk from Kibera.
sakyamuni is right, Africa is not a country !!! He also went to Sierra-Leone and Liberia. As said, he went to Kibera once to do the women portrait but (you can see it in the movie) he was asked by local people what is the use of his action because paper is just paper. What's all the fuss ? So he changed his plan and decided to do the plastic one that could be used as rooftops. Then he came again to do the train and install more rooftops. Then as Sakyamuni said, he returned to Kibera to give books to women of community with French embassy (ed. of 500).
So he didn't do a mess with paper... It's just that he promised so many things and, few years after, very few things if none was accomplished. He said "'all the money is going back into the work' he says, 'I planning a cultural center for Kibera, it will be a place where the people can post photographs on the walls." but instead they got a book
Also, many critics disliked the movie, more about the artist and his ego himself than the community and stuff. So yes, he did lot of fuss, playing the humanitary card to get the hype and media attention, but then he isn't doing much !

JR โข Inside Out, by brookesjoe on Feb 23, 2013 3:26:06 GMT 1, At first I liked JR's work but over time I've come to despise it, his art weathers really very badly, and often just peels off leaving piles of littered cheap white photocopy paper everywhere, it made a right mess out in Africa and pissed off all of the locals. Not surprised, I kind of liked this guy but more and more I get the impression that this guy uses people to make himself look good. His head has gotten too big. From the galleries I've talked to and people I know in the art trade he is, let's just say 'difficult' to work with. Especially when money is involved. But hey it's all good because he brings art to these disenfranchised peoples right? I've been told the same, looks like his egos exploded, for someone that just stands at a photocopy machine all day its getting a bit silly.
Least he can do is used recycled paper for fucks sake.
