Using JR's usual black and white style, the photos are printed on canvas and then hung on a sophisticated bracket. JR especially incorporated Hong Kong's traditional "bamboo scaffolding" for the first time. French street artist JR went to the Ukrainian city of Lviv to create art. He printed a photo of a 5-year-old Ukrainian girl into a work about 45 meters long, and called on hundreds of volunteers on social media to spread this huge photo on the ground in front of the Lviv Opera House for people to stand on it to visit and take pictures. This work will also appear on the cover of TIME magazine on March 28, 2022. In order to create a photo board, JR invited Hong Kong citizens to take photos of their smiling faces hidden under their masks for a long time, and placed them on the ground in front of Ocean Terminal in his previous black and white photography technique, which became the second wave of art "Inside Out: Harbour and the City" co-creation art event. More than 450 citizens and celebrities participated in the second wave of art "Inside Out: Harbour and the City" by French street artist JR. From April 24, smiling faces will be spread all over Harbour City, hoping to spread the tenacious smiles after experiencing the difficult years of anti-epidemic.
