I definitely believe in the power of art: creating thought, changing perceptions, being aware, bringing discussion, and making a difference. JR, I am doing something similarly with mental health/illness/anti-stigma awareness through art. Believe in making a difference.
This man's boldness is contagious! I will become more bolder with my art. Lately I've been creating things that focus on "will this be what people LIKE?" But how about I add some spice. Something that I stand for. I may not be a photographer but I'll apply that to my own work. Thank you~
Stunning. Stunning work, stunning genius, and stunning that there are no negative comments on the first page right now. Good work, JR. This is fantastic!
Could art change? he is very brilliant and got a great sense of humor. I was so much touched by his works of art, something that is so unique, also. ok, I will give a picture of peace, I think!!!
This video is great, JR is a big speaker he shows us that if you want to do something to help the world, you can do it with a simple idea. You don´t need a lot of money to do something really extraordinary, the world needs more of these people, who do something to show to others that everybody are same. that violence or problems that many countries have, can be solve.
Exactly what I needed to see at the right time. Ideas are the most powerful thing in the world, because ideas are the world. We are the collective imagination of the universe experiencing itself subjectively and you can change your surroundings in ways that are almost unimaginable. thank you for this inspiration boost.
"you know youve been here for a few hours trying to understand discussing with your fellows. During that time you haven't think about what you gonna eat tomorrow; This is art." @14:10
execellent ideas, very creative guy, love his art and his personality, he has done an amaizing project in Brasil with Jose Parla, you must see it! obviously you can find it on UA-cam

Excelente artista fundamentado en sus creencias con un potencial impresionante que lo mueve a hacer del arte una forma de mover al mundo y ponerlo como el dice: "de abajo para arriba ". me encanta su actitud y su coraje. felicidades por esta iniciativa que si puede incluso " cambiar al mundo "
@eenkjet normally i would agree with you, except in this case, it's not just the photography, it's how he goes about pasting the photo's and where, that's where the art is.
VERY INSPIRING TED talk. But I have one huge question. How did he manage to print those pictures in such a huge format in one day in Africa, India... And so on? Printing that, in big city ( I'm from Warsaw in Poland, yes is big... ) its expensive and not that easy to do. I would love to know, how did he manage to do that.
Krzysztof Jarzebski I'm not sure how he did it but he may have had pre printed strips of the photographs that he then put together to make the full image, I've seen some artists do that
If you watch the trailer to the documentary Faces Places, you will see he drove a big truck that had a hugh printer on it...he printed them himself right from the side of the truck! This man is amazing!
Should do this with the local criminals. Put surveillance camera pictures of the local thieves, pickpockets and shop lifters on the prominent walls in the city centres and i bet everyone of them will stop or get caught.
Told 30 friends across 6 countries about the project.. people who will do something about it .. some cool stuff coming your way on inside out project .. :)
After watching this video countless times over the years and telling everyone I know about it and JR's projects . I look at the world today . Its still the same . Worse in fact in many ways
@houseinpink These are black and white photos, concentrating on the form and the expressions. Making it more difficult to tell them apart and that is exactly the point!
Me llamo mucho la atención de como las personas tienes mucha actitud como se expresan, como dibujan como actúan como tienen tanta imaginación para crear. Me gustó mucho las imágenes, se veían muy clásicas y también como pintaban y decoraban las casas las paredes escaleras etc. YABEL GÓMEZ SANDOVAL 2°E
Probably the most inspiring TED talk I have ever seen! Bravo! You are a true inspiration!! Thank you!
most badass ted talk ever given! this is epic.
I am a photographer. Currently in end stage liver/kidney failure. I will use the time I have left to use my art to change the world.
God bless You !!!! It’s not the end
Across the world I support. Keep your head up
@@freeshpriincetv4882 Thank you for your kind words.
In July of 2020 I was the recipient of transplant.
Your words were prophetic.
It is NOT the end.
@davidonirico
wow! this guy is AMAZING! I have tears in my eyes! BRAVO, JR!

C'est vraiment génial ce que fait cet artiste, j'ai eu des frissons et des larmes en voyant ces projets impressionnants et riches de sens.
I am a photographer, and i will start to use my artistry to change the world.
Please do!!! 🥰🥰🥰
yeah @davidonirico , me too.
update? (-:
nice to hear that
Been teaching JR's art to children for years - and it changes them :)
So inspiring - I love what this man is about, what he does, and his wish.
I have listened to it for 24 minutes and all I can say - THAT IS GENIOUS!
the fact that his identity is still unconfirmed, is honestly amazing. this man is changing the world.
This man's boldness is contagious! I will become more bolder with my art.
Lately I've been creating things that focus on "will this be what people LIKE?"
But how about I add some spice. Something that I stand for.

Stunning. Stunning work, stunning genius, and stunning that there are no negative comments on the first page right now. Good work, JR. This is fantastic!
JR is amazing. We need more people like him in this world.
We are those people! Greetings from Austria ✊🏻
Now this is art. Unlike that crap modern art stuff that is just random lines and big black boxes painted on walls. Great and touching work this is.
Blew my mind too! Amazing artist! Thanks for existing
Brilliance, community, love, art and human regard
...some of my favorite things :-)
Could art change? he is very brilliant and got a great sense of humor. I was so much touched by his works of art, something that is so unique, also. ok, I will give a picture of peace, I think!!!
I feel I need to do more with making my art deeper in my community. Thank you for the inspiration.
Great idea

Amazing thanks
Great talk by A great artist. By bringing the art to people who wouldn't normally get to see it he has changed lives!
I'm watching this for a high school class, and I am so happy to see this tbh
i love a man with such bright ideas.
BE THE WORLD YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD. Thank you JR for being an inspiration.
"you know youve been here for a few hours trying to understand discussing with your fellows. During that time you haven't think about what you gonna eat tomorrow; This is art." @14:10
This is something we can all do, and it's amazing work!

Good Job! Message to unite and express beyond boundries for passion to live and not control!
Loved every second of this talk.
So Dope! The simple ideas are the best.
That was a great speech, and I too agree that art can change the world, one at a time.

👌🏿 best ted talk I’ve listened to
very inspiring JR...your artwork is absolutly amazing!
Coolest thing I've seen in a long time, 12.44 and all those previous ones from 12.00 are so inspiring AWESOME!!!!
Blew my mind!
This guy is a real badass... Woah !
*****. Absolutely breathtaking.
VERY INSPIRING TED talk. But I have one huge question. How did he manage to print those pictures in such a huge format in one day in Africa, India... And so on? Printing that, in big city ( I'm from Warsaw in Poland, yes is big... ) its expensive and not that easy to do. I would love to know, how did he manage to do that.
I bet he arrived with them already printed. Just a guess though, no clue.
Krzysztof Jarzebski I'm not sure how he did it but he may have had pre printed strips of the photographs that he then put together to make the full image, I've seen some artists do that
If you watch the trailer to the documentary Faces Places, you will see he drove a big truck that had a hugh printer on it...he printed them himself right from the side of the truck! This man is amazing!
Need an answer for this.
very inspiration>>>,,,,,,,thank you
We need those guys in this world
The India project was phenomenal
I do not like non-scientific BS, however this guy is more important that he thinks on himself!
Beautiful. The light in me, sees the light in you.
One of the best Ted talks ever ?
Beautiful. So clever!
brilliant.
Incredible.
Should do this with the local criminals. Put surveillance camera pictures of the local thieves, pickpockets and shop lifters on the prominent walls in the city centres and i bet everyone of them will stop or get caught.
INCREDIBLE!!!
This is touching my soul
Where can I find more videos about the painting with dust? Thank you
This is so inspiring...
I just saw the Mona Lisa today, but that was nothing compared to this.
Inspiration!!!
Impressed beyond.
I think he should call his portraits 'Citizens of the 21st Century" (yes, after August Sander)
are you serious? he did all that thats amazing O_O
Told 30 friends across 6 countries about the project.. people who will do something about it .. some cool stuff coming your way on inside out project .. :)
you are a hero man!
After watching this video countless times over the years and telling everyone I know about it and JR's projects . I look at the world today . Its still the same . Worse in fact in many ways
