Inside Out is a global participatory art project, initiated by the French photographer JR. After winning the TED prize in 2011, JR expressed his wish to “change the world”〔https://www.ted.com/talks/jr_s_ted_prize_wish_use_art_to_turn_the_world_inside_out?language=fr 〕 by turning it 'inside out'.〔https://www.ted.com/talks/jr_s_ted_prize_wish_use_art_to_turn_the_world_inside_out?language=fr 〕 The project, inspired by JR's large format street pastings, is open for anyone to participate, anywhere in the world. The idea behind it is to place emphasis on the people and their stories behind each action, or cause. Besides the printing of portraits, participants have full control of both the creative process (taking their pictures) to the pasting process (the installation of the posters). By using strictly black and white portraits, which are printed and then pasted in an exterior space, each group action can make a statement in the form of a public artwork and share their message with the rest of the world.〔See “About” and "Participate" on http://www.insideoutproject.net/fr/about〕 Every Inside Out group action is documented, archived and exhibited on the project's website online.〔See “Explore” page of http://www.insideoutproject.net/fr/map 〕 As of June 2015, over 1,200 group actions have taken place, and nearly 250,000 posters have been printed and shipped to more than 127 countries.〔See “Explore” page of http://www.insideoutproject.net/fr/map〕 The Inside Out Project has traveled from Ecuador to Nepal, from Mexico to Palestine, inspiring group actions on varied themes such as hope, diversity, violence awareness and climate change.〔See “Explore” page of http://www.insideoutproject.net/fr/map〕 ==Notable projects== Many individuals have become ardently involved in the Inside Out Project. According to Raffi Khatchadourian of the New Yorker, “A participant in Iran, at grave personal risk, had posted an image of a defiant-looking woman beneath a state sponsored billboard” and “Russian gay rights activists protested with the images and were briefly imprisoned in Moscow.”〔Katchadourian, Raffi. “In the Picture.” The New Yorker Magazine. November 28, 2011. Web June 7, 2012. p 82.〕 Inside Out led to heated results in Tunisia where installations began just as dictator Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali stepped down. Participants pasted photos over posters of Ben Ali on an old fort.〔LAFITTE Priscille, “JR a exposé ses portraits géants dans les rues de Tunis”, 29 Mars 2011, http://www.france24.com/fr. http://www.france24.com/fr/20110329-exposition-photographie-jr-tunisie-streetart-ben-ali-revolution-tunis-goulette-sidi-bouzid-sfax〕〔http://www.insideoutproject.net/fr/group-actions/tunis-tunisia〕 After the Inside Out Action in Tunisia, the project became even more global. Since March 2011, many notable actions have taken place: * In Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, 1180 portraits lined the walls of the Mexican-American border to show the underrepresented faces of a city known for crime (2011).〔http://www.insideoutproject.net/fr/group-actions/mexico-juarez-rio-grande-canal-border-of-ciudad-juarez-mexico-and-el-paso-tx-united〕 * In Caracas, Venezuela, 312 portraits showing mothers who have lost a child because of violence were pasted in the city (2011).〔“Portraits of the people”, Reuters.com, 7 mai 2015 http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/news/picture/portraits-of-the-people?articleId=USRTX1BYXI〕〔Márquez, Humberto.

The project, called Rising Souls, aimed at conveying a sense of hope, pride and resilience (2012).〔“JR's portraits rise again - this time in Haiti”, nbcnews.com, 12 Janvier 2012 http://photoblog.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/01/12/10140634-jrs-portraits-rise-again-this-time-in-haiti?lite〕〔http://www.insideoutproject.net/en/group-actions/haiti-port-au-prince〕 * Some Lakota members of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, North Dakota also became involved with Inside Out by pasting their portraits within the walls of their communities. JR then also pasted these portraits in New York City. “I’ve just basically made an encore of their work in the city.” he said in an interview. He calls the New York pastings, “a small window into the project.”〔http://www.insideoutproject.net/fr/group-actions/usa-north-dakota〕〔SUTTON Benjamin,”JR Mural Replaces Kenny Scharf’s Smileys on Houston Street”, 24 Juin 2011, http://www.thelmagazine.com/2011/06/jr-mural-replaces-kenny-scharfs-smileys-on-houston-street/〕 * A Group Action called “Save the Arctic” launched an expedition in the North Pole. The group’s purpose was to protect the inhabitants of the area as well as its endangered wild life. Over 2000 portraits were used to make up a giant eye that was printed into a flag. It was placed on the arctic ice in defiance against aggressive industries developing in the North Pole (April 2013).〔'Inside Out Project' Art Piece at the North Pole”, 11 avril 2013, http://photo.greenpeace.org/ * ““”http://photo.greenpeace.org/archive/'Inside-Out-Project'-Art-Piece-at-the-North-Pole-27MZIFVFI9SZ.html *〕〔http://www.insideoutproject.net/fr/group-actions/north-pole-north-pole〕 * “The Faces and the Stories on the Frontlines” was created in Mangochi, Malawi.〔http://www.insideoutproject.net/fr/group-actions/malawi-mangochi〕 The aim of this Group Action was to highlight the obstacles Malawians are faced with in the fishing and food-processing industries (May 2013).〔GUY Sol, “Inside Out Project continues to grow”, tribecafilm.com, 13 janvier 2015 https://tribecafilm.com/stories/inside-out-project-continues-to-grow〕 * In December 2013, it was time for Lyon, France to be turned Inside Out. In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Walk for equality and against racism, 5000 participants sent their portraits, 2000 of which were pasted Rue de la République in less than 10 hours.〔LYAN Marie, “La marche pour l'égalité de Charlotte Le Bon, c'est lundi !”, 1er décembre 2013, http://www.metronews.fr/〕〔http://www.insideoutproject.net/en/group-actions/france-lyon-0〕 * In April 2014, an extremely powerful action was created in Pakistan. The purpose of this action was to confront American drone operators that refer to those that are killed by the drones as “bug splats."〔BENEDICTUS Leo, “The artists who are giving a human face to the US's 'bug splat' drone strikes” , 7 AVRIL 2014, http://www.theguardian.com/ http://www.theguardian.com/world/shortcuts/2014/apr/07/artists-give-human-face-drones-bug-splat-paki stan *〕 They wanted to put a face to the innocents that are killed by drones, and remind those flying above who they are affecting. As they state, "Now, when viewed by a drone camera, what an operator sees on his screen is not an anonymous dot on the landscape, but an innocent child victim’s face." They plan to use the material afterwards as roofing for nearby villages.〔SAIFI Sophia, Not a 'bug splat:' Artists give drone victims a face in Pakistan, CNN, 9 avril 2014, http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/09/world/asia/pakistan-drones-not-a-bug-splat/〕〔http://www.insideoutproject.net/fr/group-actions/pakistan-undisclosed-location〕 * In December 2014, the Million’s March NYC took place in response to the grand jury decisions in New York and Ferguson regarding the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown.〔MUELLER Benjamin, SOUTHALL Ashley, “25,000 March in New York to Protest Police Violence”, New York Times, 13 décembre 2014 * “http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/14/nyregion/in-new-york-thousands-march-in-continuing-protests-over-garner-case.html?_r=0〕 The protesters held up the eyes of Eric Garner that had been printed and pasted on large billboards.〔http://www.insideoutproject.net/fr/group-actions/usa-New York-10〕 * In January 2015, after the terrorist attacks in France, the Inside Out Project Team prepared a tribute for the victims of ''Charlie Hebdo''. The eyes of the newspaper's writers and illustrators were printed and pasted onto large billboards held up by the participants to the march in New York and Paris.〔JARDONNET Emmauelle, “Le street art est charlie”, lemonde.fr, 11 janvier 2015 http://www.lemonde.fr/culture/portfolio/2015/01/11/le-street-art-est-charlie_4553419_3246.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inside Out Project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
