Amazwi kaKatie Farley
Imigwaqo yedolobha lethu yenza izinguquko ezinhle kakhulu, ihlotshiswa kabusha ngezithombe ezibukwayo ezikhipha umoya welukuluku, ubunikazi bomphakathi, kanye nobuqili bobuciko. Inhlanganisela engavamile mhlawumbe, nokho osekuphumelele ingxenye ngenxa yeciko lomgwaqo uJR, ithalente lamazwe ngamazwe elivela eFrance owazuza uthando lwe-graffiti esemncane.
Imibono yakhe mayelana nobuciko basemgwaqweni yashintsha lapho ehlangana nekhamera ngenkathi ehamba ku-metro yaseParis 2001. U-JR wazulazula e-Europe lapho ahlangana khona namaciko esakaza imibono yawo ezindongeni nasezindaweni ezingaphambili., ababezokhiqiza imisebenzi yabo ezindaweni ezingajwayelekile zasemadolobheni, njengophahla lwaseParis, imigwaqo enamabhilidi, nakuwo wonke amanethiwekhi okuthutha angaphansi komhlaba aseYurophu.
Ugqozi lwangena 2004, lapho izibhelu ezavela ezinqabeni zaba isihloko sezithombe zezithombe zika-JR. Izithombe zihunyushwe kuphrojekthi yakhe yokuqala enkulu, okubandakanya ukunamathisela izithombe ezinosayizi we-gargantuan zobuso bezifundo kuzungeze idolobha. U-JR usebenzisa umhlaba njengegalari yakhe yobuciko, ekhangisa emigwaqweni emhlabeni wonke futhi ekhuthaza umphakathi ukuthi ufake isandla emisebenzini yakhe yobuciko yasemgwaqweni. Uhlose ukudonsa ukunaka kwabantu abangayi njalo eminyuziyamu, kanjalo ebandakanya futhi evumela abantu bansuku zonke ukuthi bazibandakanye nemisebenzi yakhe.
Imisebenzi ka-JR ihlanganisa imibono yobuciko nesenzo, ekhombisa izindikimba zenkululeko, ubunikazi, ukuzibophezela, kanye nomkhawulo. Ukuhlelwa okuyingqayizivele kokunamathiselwe kukakolweni nezithombe ezinkulu ze-monochrome yizici ezibalulekile ezinomthelela ekwakhiweni kwendlela yakhe yobuciko basemgwaqweni.. Umdwebi uthwebula izithombe zakhe ngelensi engu-28mm ebanzi futhi ethwebula abantu abakhipha umoya ongagadiwe., ezihlekisayo, nezimfanelo zomphefumulo, ngenkathi igxile ku-zeitgeist yalabo abavame ukuhlala bengaziwa.
Izitatimende zomphakathi ezinikeza amandla ziminyene phakathi kwezithombe ezinkulu ze-JR nemidwebo yasezindongeni, isici esimenze wahlonishwa umhlaba wonke. Uthole umklomelo ohlonishwayo we-TED ku 2011. U-JR uzama ukuhlanganisa umhlaba ngaphansi kwengubo yobumbano ngomsebenzi wakhe woqobo nowokudala.
