The Wrinkles of the City, La Havane
En mai 2012, JR collabore avec José Parlá, artiste américain d'origine cubaine, sur le projet Wrinkles of the City: de gigantesques installations à La Havane, dans le cadre de la Biennale de La Havane, pour lesquelles JR et Parlá ont photographié et enregistré 25 personnes âgées ayant vécu la révolution cubaine. JR a collé des portraits sur lesquels José Parlá a exprimé sa calligraphie palimpseste et ses peintures.
L'écriture de Parlá fait écho aux murs endommagés sur lesquels il écrit, et offre un commentaire sur la vie des personnes âgées de Cuba; ensemble, JR et José Parlá animent les murs d'une ville habitués à recevoir uniquement les portraits de ses dirigeants.
