Tender and inspiring: iconic director Agnès Varda (89) and street artist JR (33) out and about with a camera in France
The 89-year-old iconic director Agnès Varda and the 33-year-old street artist JR set off with their unique photomobile to discover and immortalize France's people and their stories: in larger-than-life portraits on facades, trains and shipping containers. From Provence to Normandy, they dedicate their art to people - be it the letter carrier, the factory worker or the last inhabitant of a street in a former mining area. Landscapes are transformed into stages, faces tell forgotten stories and glances become encounters of warmth and humor.
