Photographer JR gave new which means to the phrase “pack it up” on Monday in New York.
The visionary French artist teamed with Tribeca for an unique portrait studio contained in the 18th annual Chanel Tribeca Pageant artists dinner on the Odeon. The transfer, which introduced JR again into the fold after teaming with Chanel for its Tribeca Pageant artists awards program in 2019, noticed a slew of A-listers verify their participation to leap in entrance of his digicam by sliding into an outsized wood field, full with packing supplies to amp up the authenticity. Return to sender? Not so quick!
What’s spectacular about it — past the inventive photos — is the truth that JR snapped stars like Tribeca Pageant companions Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal, Blake Vigorous, Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Hamm, Mariska Hargitay, Lucy Liu and extra contained in the packing containers. See all the photographs beneath.
