JR_Art

Another inspiration.. 

I began following JR through instagram.. I hadn't really seen his work around, but since he is always updating his photos, I got a sense of his life, his studio, and his art. A few days ago, I finally put "a name to an art".. Crossing the Williamsburg Bridge (Brooklyn, NY), I finally saw one of his recent "eyes".. 

It struck me! So I finally went online and researched a bit about him.. 

In this video, he tells us a bit about his story, which I found to be fascinating. I would love to glue my art around the city, and be able to pass my message around and inspire people like he is doing.

The Ninth Floor by Jessica Dimmock

The most beautiful piece of work!

In The Ninth Floor, Jessica Dimmock enters this world, exploring, in human terms, what has been lost and what may be recovered. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/publication/the-ninth-floor

"To Die In Jerusalem"

(***)

Directed by: Hilla Medalia

2 Days ago I saw this documentary about 2 girls, one Palestinian, and the other Israeli. One was a suicide bomber, the other one was a student shopping at the local market. Both of them were 17 years old, brunette with dark eyes. Both of them died that day: March 29th, 2002. 

Years later, the mothers confront each other. 

It was very interesting to see the reality of Israel and Palestine. I had no idea how intense the situation was. 

The mother of the Israeli, Abigail, also enters a prison to talk to some Palestinian girls, and try to understand if they feel guilty or not. Abigail just wants PEACE, she doesn't want any other mother to go through what she did.

Worth watching!
