Closing next week on Friday May 10, 2013, French artist JR and his crew INSIDE OUT NEW YORK CITY will be finishing their project of photographing New Yorkers and visitors taking over 4,000 self-portraits in a photo booth located inside a moving truck.
Stationed in Times Square, the site of the world’s first ever photo booth almost 100 years ago, the truck has printed JR's signature posters that have been pasted on Duffy Square or in the home community of the portrait’s subject.
Also, INSIDE OUT NEW YORK CITY has activated Times Square as a creative hub engaging the boroughs of New York as the photo booth truck made early visits to the Bronx, Staten Island, Queens, and Brooklyn.
The initial portraits featured community members from New York City neighborhoods affected by Hurricane Sandy, the Staten Island waterfront, the Rockaways, Red Hook, and Coney Island.
