She is especially known for Vagabond, Le Bonheur, The Beaches of Agnès, Cleo from 5 to 7. She was previously married to Jacques Demy. Her carrier was awarded with a César of Honor in 2001, an Honor Palme at the Cannes Film Festival in 2015 and an Honorary Oscar in 2017.

JR exhibits freely in the streets of the world, catching the attention of people who are not typical museum visitors.

Recently, he inaugurated a monumental installation on the Mexican side of the border between the United States and Mexico, representing a boy who looks over the famous wall.

 

LUMIERE!
