JR Brings Visual Art To Rikers Islands Jail

jr-brings-visual-art-to-rikers-islands-jail-3

Persian street artist JR brings his visual art to the notorious Rikers Islands Jail in NYC. The eyes in the work are that of a 18 year old prisoner on 2nd term who told JR himself what position of his eye to takes a photo of.

We just pasted the eye of another Inmate on the 2 South Building of the Rikers Island Jail in New York City. He wanted me to choose his eye looking left as life in jail is all about watching your back… He came out in the jail Yard when we were pasting. He’s 18years old, it’s his second time in Jail. Even if no one will recognize his eye he knows he’s part of a bigger picture. He said “Who’s looking who” ? In a way he’s happy no one will know who he is so he wont get jalousy from the Inside or be recognized on the outside. On my end I felt this eye is bringing even more pression next to all to the guards and the video cameras watching the inmates already…
