A large-scale colour photograph mounted on Plexiglas captures the raw energy and identity of youth from Les Bosquets, a housing project in Montfermeil, France — the suburban banlieue that partly inspired the riots of 2005. Part of JR's ongoing *28 Millimètres* series, the work features dramatically close-up, black-and-white style portraiture that confronts the viewer with the humanity of individuals often reduced to statistics or stereotypes. The mist enveloping the surroundings lends the image an ethereal, almost mythic quality, blurring the boundary between documentary and monument.
