Well, it sure is damn nice to be able to say something positive about San Francisco of late (not to mention SFMOMA). And all thanks to none other than JR, who has once again managed to take the everyday and transform it into something wondrously alive, joyful and downright miraculous! And that pretty much describes The Chronicles of San Francisco- a giant, interactive panoramic display featuring a wide variety of San Franciscans assembled into an atrium sized collage where everyone pictured is not only seen, but celebrated and given voice; one humongous testimonial, one ginormous moving mural where each individual can instantly come to life and speak their peace at the press of a button.
Once again, JR has managed to transcend the limitations of still photography, go well beyond it's story telling boundaries, and create something both heartfelt and intimate on a grand scale that captivates the imagination and makes our hearts soar...
