Larger than life.

And up close and personal.So, sometimes it can be a bit boring here in Abu Dhabi in terms of cultural events. And then something awesome will come.Like… a giant photo booth installed by French artist JR, the TED Prize winner for 2011! Watch his TED Prize Wish speech here.

JR is famous for posting large black and white images of faces in public places. Two projects I think are especially fascinating are the Face2Face installation in Israel and Palestine, and Women are Heroes, which has now become a film.

Now Mike and I have giant black and white photos of our very own! It was so much fun, we went twice.

I have to say, I’m pretty impressed with Abu Dhabi on this one.

xo, jill

PS. I went to see the former president of Ghana speak last night. That was pretty cool too.
