Wrinkled faces from Havana, Cuba; Berlin, Germany; Istanbul, Turkey; Shanghai, China; and Los Angeles, U.S.A. are shown laughing, contemplating, and simply looking into the camera. I loved that this book shows wrinkles for what they are – proof of life, proof of joy and calm, of stories and secrets. Everyone has or will have wrinkles! This book would be an excellent addition to a lesson about photography or human development, a study of facial features, or an assignment to interview someone older than you.… (mais)

For “Women Are Heroes”, young French artist JR traveled to Sierra Leone, Liberia, Sudan, Kenya, Brazil, India and Cambodia to seek out women struggling in their everyday lives. Their pictures tell stories of violence, poverty, but also of a strong will to survive. Pasting mural-size portraits on the sides of buildings, on trains, and on bridges, JR brings a haunting human presence to harsh environments of social conflict. Paired with interviews, in which the women share their lives and dreams. A global art project, which generates a glimpse on reality offering outspokenly authentic respect for women. In English.

Der junge französische Künstler JR reiste für „Women Are Heroes“ nach Sierra Leone, Liberia, in den Sudan, nach Kenia, Brasilien, Indien und Kambodscha, um Frauen zu finden, die in ihren Alltagsleben zu kämpfen haben. Ihre Bilder erzählen Geschichten von Gewalt, Armut, aber auch von einem starken Überlebenswillen. Große Wand-Porträts auf Gebäuden, Zügen und auf Brücken zeigen eine berührende Darstellung von schwierigen Lebensumständen und sozialen Konflikten. Zusammen mit Interviews, in welchen die Frauen ihre Lebensgeschichten und Träume teilen, bietet dieses globale Kunstprojekt einen Blick auf die Wirklichkeit mit ausgesprochen authentischem Respekt für Frauen. In Englisch.
