The Chronicles of San Francisco
Inspired by the murals of Diego Rivera, JR sought to create a portrait of San Francisco through his art. In January and February 2018, the artist and his team transformed a 53-foot trailer truck into a photographic studio, and parked it in 22 pre-determined locations across the length and breadth of San Francisco, welcoming anyone who wished to participate. As a result, over 1, 200 people — including well known public figures as well as doctors, swimmers, homeless men and women, shop vendors, protesters, children and many other San Franciscans — have been filmed, photographed and interviewed. The result is a monumental video mural presented at SFMOMA from May 2019.
