(Many thanks to Colleen for information) Faces to remove huge conscience. is the work of French photographer JR, also known as secret-photographer which has just been awarded the TED Prize.
The various projects of the anonymous photographer have a common denominator: open your eyes - is the heart? - The viewer who will ask questions, certainties into question, you face your fears. Rather, today, almost subversive: we see each other, that we rediscover and learn to respect and even - why not - to love.

And what does this through close gigantic hits the streets as a poster to be accessible to everyone (although, shortly after being removed by police). Street art with a clear objective: to invite us to reflection.
Some of his projects are "The grooves of the city", a tribute to the elders whose faces are the living memory of a city, "Women are heroes" on the situation of African women, or " Face to Face ", which portrays the Palestinians and Israelis doing the same job with the idea of \u200b\u200bputting them face to face in two territories for recognition, approaching and-if possible, be reconciled, is not it great?
And you need a giant poster of the "other" to be able to see it?
