JR Chronicles : Tehachapi, Califoria, U.S.A., 2019
JR : Chronicles | Kunsthalle München | August 26th 2022 - January 15th 2023
In October 2019, JR received permission to work in a maximum-security prison located in Tehachapi, California. Initially, JR went there to meet twenty-eight prisoners and present an idea for a collaborative, artistic project in the central yard. At Tehachapi, the majority of the incarcerated population has been imprisoned for nearly a decade, with many sentenced to life with no chance of parole.
JR and his team photographed the men, on by one, from above, and they were given a chance to tell their story in front of a camera. No specific questions were asked; they had the freedom to express themselves candidly. JR also photographed former prisoners and prison staff, collecting a total of forty-eight portraits and stories from the prison system.
Two weeks later, JR returned with his team to paste 338 strips of paper on the ground. In just a few hours, the prison's incarcerated population worked with guards, former inmates and members of JR's studio, equipped with push brooms and wallpaper glue, to complete the prison yard pasting.
From the prison yard, the final installation image is indiscernable. Yet, from above, it becomes clear - incarcerated people, former inmates, as well as the prison staff, and victims stand shoulder to shoulder. The installation, naturally ephemeral, disappeared in three days under the footsteps of the prison's incarcerated population.

En octobre 2019, JR obtient la permission d'intervenir au sein d'une prison de sécurité maximale située dans la ville de Tehachapi, en Californie. Il s'y rend une première fois pour rencontrer 28 prisonniers, et leur présente le projet qu’il a tête pour la cour de la prison. Tehachapi est l’une des prisons les plus violentes des États-Unis. La plupart des prisonniers y sont incarcérés depuis au moins dix ans, et certains y purgent une peine à perpétuité, sans possibilité de sortir un jour, pour des crimes commis alors qu'ils n’étaient encore que mineurs.
JR les photographie un par un, et leur demande de raconter leur histoire face caméra. Chacun a la liberté d'offrir le témoignage qu'il souhaite. JR photographie également d'anciens prisonniers, ainsi que des membres du personnel de la prison. Au total, il rassemble les portraits et les histoires de 48 personnes, apportant autant de regards différents sur l'univers carcéral.
Deux semaines plus tard, JR et son équipe reviennent coller 338 bandes de papier sur le sol de la cour de Tehachapi. Avec l’aide des prisonniers, de certains gardes et d'anciens détenus, ils terminent le collage en quelques heures.
Depuis le sol, le visuel collé est indiscernable. Ce n’est qu’en prenant de la hauteur que l’image se révèle. Les participants y apparaissent tous côte à côte, nichés dans un trou ouvert au milieu de la prison. L'installation, éphémère par nature, disparaît en trois jours sous les pas des prisonniers.

Thank you JR for giving the gift of your talents and heart to the utmost Mosaic City like NYC I'd participated your vision and I thank you and so does the late Jasper, my service dog. PS THE BOOK IS AWESOME TOO!
Touchingly brilliant, thanks to composition of nils and jr with an overwhelming narration
Robert De Niro's performance is riveting, making the story unforgettable. This short needs to be required in every American civics class.
This ❤I can’t tell you how much it has impacted my life!

Beautiful film
Marc,liana and J.R. helped me come from life in prison to living my best life, being of service to my community, love them!!!
Powerful message in a short very well made film. And let's not forget the fine music by Woodkid and Nils Frahm.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Choose this film for my english class project (i’m french)
Hauntingly beautiful yet so sad. JR can really bring out the emotion in his art.
very inspired, amazing artwork, congrats!
🖤 Breath-taking visuals, perfect verbal storytelling, RdN BORN for this exact thing. Was the most beautiful art installation I'd ever seen in all it's stale ruin. And this masterful production is so deep and profound an experience, I FELT the dagger of their plight and pain. And since I was going through my own during a particularly brutal isolation, It was relieving to finally feel a thing, an emotion something like connection to foreign human beings like never B4. We all just wanna make it in life. 🖤
Belle video

I cry everytime I see this. Truly beautiful.
Il seme rinasce, si moltiplicheranno le feste e i balli di rinascita.

Well tell that to all the bad guys I've encountered because I've been traveling back and forth from border to border. Theirs more then you don't know. Borders weren't made for suppressing people but to construct a safety of separate sectors
Vraiment spectaculaire 🤘
Amazing! I discovered your work in Munich. Your art moved my ideas, my heart and my perspectives of life. I really enjoy the music in this short film. How can I get the last piano piece of the Original Music AVIA? It is a jewel!!!
Wlh quiquito c’est trop bien
I've never been more disturb and uncomfortable watching a straight up aesthetisation of social violence, artistic appropriation of a cultural struggle. C.r.i.n.g.e. Might understand why the creator hides behind dark sunglasses :'D. It's never comfortable being the face of a process of capitalization as much as is this truly discomfortable watching this process unfold before us but hey "there is dirt all over my face and it's real" :') Probably had to shot at sunrise for the inhabitant to not *disturb* them :') The moment the *happy* song arrives, I had to play fast speed to go through it, until I these kids showing off their bodies. It would have "break" the clean aesthetic to have them talking in the shot for sure, to have any feedback FROM the actual people living here. Cringing all over. It's too bad because Lil Buck been to dance battles in Paris, he knows actual black youth from France. He knows they have talent. But he clearly was just a prop in this project.
Bonjour!

Le film était présenté à l'exposition de JR à Marseille "Amor Fati", dont on peut voir une présentation ici: czcams.com/video/1VBNMLgwjkg/video.html&feature=share&si=EMSIkaIECMiOmarE6JChQQ Il y avait également des petits lumignons qui flottaient entre les bateaux, c'était vraiment magique...

JR, I’m a Senior TED Fellow and a hip hop ethnomusicologist. Been following your work since Women are Heroes and the TED Prize. This was as moving as all your other installations with community. We are seeds!
Magnifique!!!!
Heartbreaking
Auriez vous le titre de la music jouez au oud ?
Merci pour nous rappeler avec cette création poignante la mémoire de ce lieu et raviver en nous les fantômes de tous ceux qui y passèrent. Merci à tous les trois pour votre magnifique travail qui démontre s'il en était besoin la puissance narrative des images.
Mi sono commossa...
