JR - Ballet

Paris Photo Daily #68

French artist JR captures a moment of extraordinary grace in Paris, where centuries-old chimneys pierce the skyline. This image, featuring a Paris Opera Ballet dancer in a classical white tutu executing a perfect plank position atop a brick chimney, with Sacré-Cœur floating in the distance, exemplifies JR's masterful ability to transform urban spaces into unexpected stages for art.

Known internationally as a "photograffeur" – a term blending photographer and graffiti artist – JR has made his mark through large-scale black-and-white photographic installations that challenge our perception of public spaces. His collaboration with the Paris Opera Ballet demonstrates his gift for finding poetry in the intersection of classical art and urban landscapes.
