The Hills Have Eyes

By Miss Cellania in Art on Sep 29, 2008 at 11:44 am

French street artist JR, best known for his technique of photographing inhabitants of an area & pasting the resulting imagery up on grand scale around the community has taken to the favelas of RIO DE JANEIRO in a grand project to honor the residents of one of the world’s biggest slums. The scale of this project never siezes [sic] to amaze me. One day we will plan on doing something of this level.

    Shouldn’t be “never ceases to amaze me” instead of “seizes”?

    Yes it should be “ceases” but that was from the quote. So I’ve added a [sic].

    with the amount of money it took to make the images and affix them to the favellas, how many structurally-sound homes could have been created?
