“Women are Heroes” is a project and an exhibition by the artist JR that coincided with the 2009 Nuit Blanche in Paris, France.
For the Women are Heroes project, JR travelled to such countries as Kenya, Liberia and Sierra Leone, to take portraits of more than 70 women around the world. It was the third phase of his 28 Millimetre project, taking its name from the wide-angle lens he uses. Around the Ile Saint-Louis, JR and his team pasted up portraits, studies and other photos from the Women project in huge formats on bridges, the embankments and a City of Paris building. JR conceived a “Street Audio Guide” system that enables passers-by to dial a free number from their mobile phones, to hear interviews with portrayed women and their life-stories.
JR is elusive and semi-anonymous and doesn’t explain his huge full frame portraits of people making faces, JR leaves the space empty for an encounter between the subject/protagonist and the passer-by/interpreter.
