'BYE BYE NORTH KOREA' BY JR

French street photographer JR took the world by storm with his ability to access remote places and capture its people perfectly. And his recent trip to North Korea is no exception (who knows how the hell he pulled that off). This may be his most stunning and defining work yet.

Here's JR's more playful, final shot from the least documented country in the world. You can find all his pictures from North Korea on his Instgram (@jr_artist) feed, btw. A must follow in our book. For the non Instagramers, JR posts new images regularly on his website, jr-art.net. Check it.

JR x LIU BOLIN INVISIBILITY COLLABORATION

JR has been teaming up with a lot of great artists lately. My favorite is this piece he did with Liu Bolin in New York city. Watch the master of disguise give JR the invisibility treatment in his own photograph. Rad!

GIVE THANKS FOR JR

Anonymous street artist photographer and 2011 TED prize recipient, JR, has documented his 28MM project showcasing the women of war torn Africa. It's a searing trailer and a film that will definitely provoke strong emotions for a part of the world that needs more of our attention. via: TED
