and then there is this huge piece of street art,
that many will have seen on the cover of The New
York Times Magazine's recent Walking New York issue, the design and photography
team created its most ambitious cover to date in a collaboration with
artist JR, an image of 20
year-old Elmar Aliyev was printed across 62 strips of paper, pasted onto
the street in the early hours of a morning and photographed from a helicopter, pasting the image together took around three and a half
hours and resulted in the 150ft-tall image appearing in the morning, according
to editor-in-chief Jake Silverstein, who wrote about the project on the NYT
website, 'the
sun came up, pedestrians began to wander over Aliyev, just as JR had predicted,
they often walked right over him without even noticing, to make out the image,
you had to be high above', I wonder if there will be a bigger piece of street
art in the future?
