"Unframed - Ellis Island" by JR, a Virtual Tour (Trailer)

Discover the extraordinary "Unframed - Ellis Island" exhibition by renown french artist JR. For this site specific art installation JR pasted on the walls of the abandoned Ellis Island hospital photos that were taken in the hospital a 100 or so years ago. This exclusive virtual tour of Ellis Island will take you to places off-limits to the general public. Join us in tracking downing JR’s beautifully haunting images while discovering the second floor of the complex and peeking inside what’s known as the “Blue Room,” among other places. JR is known for his installations of large scale photographs in places accessible to the public like New York City’s Times Square, the Pantheon in Paris, and the favelas of Brazil. For this project, he partnered with Save Ellis Island to install life-size photos from the island’s archives to paste on the walls of the hospital, once the standard for United States medical care, and now left for decay for nearly 60 years.
