The latest project by JR can be seen in Kibera, Kenya, Africa’s largest slum. The French photographer decorated the rooftops with huge photographs of the Kiberian people. The photographs were printed on waterproof material, which will keep the houses dry in the rainy season. In total, JR covered 2000 square meters of rooftops, and also covered entire trains.
