Someone is watching me



Feeling like "Someone's watching you?" This takes street art to an entirely new level. The slums of Rio de Janeiro also know as the favelas, have received a face lift through the work of French photographer/street artist JR. In a large scale project to honor the female residents of one of the world’s biggest slums in a hillside installation called “28 Millimeters: Women”, he has taken photos and created these large scale installations.
