JR’s new illusion features an excavation site with the tip of the pyramid at its center and a larger structure extending down into a rocky quarry. According to JR, the latest art installation was designed to last a single weekend.
“The images, like life, are ephemeral,” JR wrote on his website. “Once pasted, the art piece lives on its own. The sun dries the light glue and with every step, people tear pieces of the fragile paper. The process is all about participation of volunteers, visitors, and souvenir catchers. This project is also about presence and absence, about reality and memories, about impermanence.”
