THE CHRONICLES OF NEW YORK CITY, 2018
For the third chapter of the Chronicles, JR chose New York City. In May and June 2018, the mobile studio was parked at fifteen different locations around the five boroughs, chosen for being specific crossroads of the city. JR and his team photographed 1,128 New Yorkers, from all walks of life, in their own neighbourhoods. Only through this artistic process can such a unique cross-section of the city be brought together in a mural. The aim is to tell a story of New York City today through art: its energy, its feats, its issues, its people. The result is a monumental mural presented at the Brooklyn Museum from October 2019.
Explore the mural and listen to the participants' stories.

After being presented at the Brooklyn Museum last year, The Chronicles of New York City was installed at Domino Park, in Williamsburg, from January to August 2020, on a wall made of 18 containers created with LOT-EK.
