Description
In September 2017, JR revealed a huge scaffolding installation on the Mexican side of the border between the United States and Mexico. An immense image of Kikito, a one year old boy from the city of Tecate, looked playfully over the infamous border wall.
« Each time I’ve seen walls that have caught my attention, or that I’ve heard about a lot in the media, they would stick in my mind. I would even dream about it. When Trump started to talk a lot about a wall along the Mexican border, one day I woke up and I saw a kid looking over the wall. I was wondering, What is this kid thinking? What would any kid think? We know that a one-year-old doesn’t have a political vision, or any political point of view. He doesn’t see walls as we see them » - JR
