It was early in 2011 that vaunted street photographer JR was seen gallivanting around Los Angeles, pasting up his signature large-scale photographs that coincided with his TED Prize acceptance speech. As part of a worldwide initiative dubbed The Wrinkles of the City, that saw 20 walls given the JR treatment, we’re now treated to a wonderful short film of the same name that spotlights some of the individuals that he crossed paths with during his time spent in LA. The result is a beautiful tribute to a city that certainly tugs on people’s heartstrings as much as it leaves them in knots.
