JR, 'Unframed' @ Images 2010, Switzerland
JR made a name for himself taking photos and pasting them on buildings around the world. His work usually provides an insight, reflection or celebration of the local community.

JR's latest project, 'Unframed', is a new direction: he's using source images from other photographers and pasting them out of context. In the process he's mixing cultures, re-creating historic scenes and creating fascinating contrasts. I love it, and I'm excited to see where this goes.

I'm so impressed by the sheer scale of these. More examples here and at JR's site
