French artist JR debuts his newest participatory mural, The Chronicles of Miami. The piece is part of JR’s ambitious Chronicles series that imagines how an entire city can be represented through art. To create the work, JR and his traveling studio visited ten different neighborhoods in Miami, inviting anyone who passed by to be photographed and record a story. The result is an epic, highly realistic composition that captures the 1,048 people who make up this ever-changing coastal city. The voices and stories of participants are linked to their portraits through the augmented reality app “JR: murals,” offering an immersive exploration of Miami’s diverse culture and history.
