Art Eyes And The City of God

Fight and you’ll never survive….. Run and you’ll never escape. ~ from City of God

One of my favorite films is City of God, the gritty true story about life in the slums of Rio de Janeiro and one man’s journey out through his photography.

Another artist, is putting his mark on the favelas of Rio.  He is JR, an “undercover photographer” who displays his “photo galleries” on the streets.  Call it photographic graffiti.
