JR
Greeting From Giza, 2021
Print with original piece of tarp form the installation and the accompanying postcard
Digital Print on Paper & Tarp
29.7 x 20.9 cm
From 21 October to 7 November 2021, JR was invited by Art D'Egypte to participate in the festival Forever is Now, which brings contemporary art to antique sites. He decided to intervene on the Pyramid of Khafre and created the trompe-l'oeil Greetings from Giza, made of mesh and a steel structure. The famous pyramid was constructed in 2570 B.C. and serves as the tomb of the Fourth-Dynasty Pharaoh Khafre.
For Greetings from Giza, JR once again used the anamorphosis technique, in the spirit of the installations he did at the Louvre in 2016, when he made the Pyramid disappear, and in 2019 when he revealed the Secret of the Louvre Pyramid using 2000 stripes of paper. More recent anamorphosis installations include La Ferita on the façade of the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, Les Falaises du Trocadéro in Paris, and Punto di Fuga in Rome.
