JR: Can Art Change the World? is a comprehensive Phaidon monograph created in close collaboration with JR, documenting the artist’s global practice of large-scale photography, public intervention, and socially engaged art. The book traces JR’s development from his early street-art project Expo2Rue to international works that use portraits, architecture, and public space to bring attention to communities and human stories.

Inside, the book presents chapters on JR’s major bodies of work, including collaborative projects, public installations, and photographic interventions across the world. It combines striking project documentation with an essay by Nato Thompson and a specially commissioned graphic novel by Joseph Remnant, giving readers both visual impact and cultural context.
