Au Panthéon, Panthéon , Until October 5, 2014
Paris' venerable Pantheon has become a veritable showcase for contemporary art. The imposing mausoleum, which houses the remains of such illustrious French personalities as Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Jean-Paul Marat, Victor Hugo and Emile Zola, is currently hosting a photo installation by French photographer and street artist JR. In a tribute to universal values and ordinary people, JR has assembled 4160 anonymous black-and-white portraits into a huge mosaic that covers the dome, cupola and floor of the Pantheon from both the inside and the outside. The project began in March of this year, when people from all over the world were invited to submit poster-sized portraits of themselves. A number of the pictures were also taken by JR himself in his portable photo booth.
