JR's 28 Millimeters, Portrait of a Generation documents one of the most significant social art projects of the 21st century. Shot with a 28mm lens in 2006 in response to the Paris riots and media demonization of suburban youth, the work features confrontational full-frame portraits of young people from Les Bosquets pulling exaggerated, provocative expressions — a calculated act of self-caricature designed to expose and challenge stereotypes.
JR pasted these enlarged photographs onto the walls of both the marginalized suburbs and wealthy Paris neighbourhoods, forcing viewers to confront the humanity of those the media had reduced to a single word: "racaille" (scum).
This limited edition print preserves that urgent visual testimony, transforming a moment of social rupture into a permanent question about how we see, judge, and represent the young.
