French artist JR
In response to the construction of a permanent wall between the United States and Mexico, JR created a massive installation in 2017 at the border fence in the Mexican city of Tecate. It consists of an image of Kikito, a toddler whose home in Tecate overlooks the wall. Lacking any awareness of politics, the curious little boy peeks playfully over the barrier from his side. The work symbolises the innocence of young immigrants. The day before it was due to be dismantled, JR organised a cross-border picnic. Kikito, his family and hundreds of guests from the United States and Mexico came together to share a meal. Gathered around a long table decorated with JR’s iconic eyes that extended across the fence, they ate the same food, drank the same water and listened to the same music. The border patrol came to stop the project and threatened to arrest all the guests, but when they saw the positive action with their own eyes, they decided not to.
