Thesis (M.A.)--Sotheby's Institute of Art - New York, 2013.

In determining how the photographic subject is understood, the context in which it is viewed is of primary importance. The discourse--a term coined by French theorist Michel Foucault--that each viewer brings with them when they see a work of art; it is the cultural and historical background that informs the viewer's thought process. Though not specifically discussed by Foucault, discourse is a function of site, and must be understood as relating to the physical location of the viewer, the artist, and the subject. This paper will explore these issues by examining the art of French photographer and street artist, JR, who is known for his large scale portraits that he displays in public settings. His work has taken him to various locations around the world, and he has a particular interest in photographing people who are marginalized in western society, such as the slum dweller, the old, or the thug. By studying a number of different photographic projects by JR, the ways in which the photographic subject is created and understood in relation to site will be addressed, as will the larger social and political implications of JR's work.
