# JR’s Al Jazeera Interview

Although I already introduced [**JR**’s *Inside Out* project](/jr-inside-out-project/) (did you know that 40 to 50 thousand people are already participating?!) to you, I don’t want to withhold the interview he recently did with Bilal Randeree from Arabian news channel *Al Jazeera* from you...

> JR, a semi-anonymous French street artist, uses his camera to show the world its true face, by pasting photos of the human face across massive canvases. After winning the TED Prize, he started a new project, insideoutproject.net, that is apparently taking the world by storm.

He not just talks about the democratic ideals behind his latest project but also about former installations and other stuff...
