JR’s ‘TEHACHAPI’ Goes Behind-the-Scenes of His Monumental Collective Portrait of Incarcerated Men in California
“Can art change the world?” is the fundamental question at the core of French photographer and street artist JR’s global practice. From a participatory public artwork in protest of Iran’s restrictions on women to a giant collective portrait of more than 1,000 New Yorkers, his work takes on architectonic proportions and emerges on the facades of iconic buildings, container ships, and even the U.S.-Mexico border wall.
A new documentary takes us inside the imposing confines of California Correctional Institution, a supermax state prison in Tehachapi, which sits about 100 miles north of Los Angeles. Supermax facilities are specially designed to house people who have demonstrated violent behavior in lower-security prisons or require extra protective custody, often including those on death row. Ultra-fortified and sprawling, CCI is also known simply as Tehachapi, housing more than 2,600 men—20 percent more than its capacity as of January 2023.
In the trailer for the forthcoming film, TEHACHAPI, the artist documents his visit to the prison in October 2019, where he embarked on a participatory portrait project with the help of more than two dozen residents. Through this project, JR listened to their personal stories and captured striking black-and-white portraits, taken from above to show light cascading down onto their faces. The group then collectively installed their portraits in a monumental mural on the ground of the prison yard.
Through a range of interviews with men who have been in the correctional system since they were teenagers, those whose sentences are expiring soon, and those who will likely never leave prison, JR illuminates how the justice system perpetuates a sense that the inmates are less than human through the brutal conditions of confinement. He proposes that expression and art can indeed make an enormous difference, both on a personal level and in communities. One participant poignantly reflects that “I was treated like a person, not an inmate.”
TEHACHAPI is scheduled for cinematic release across France on June 12. Find more on JR’s website and Instagram.

Escaping Hustle Culture: A Photographer’s Journey to Better Work-Life
Balancing work and personal life can be challenging, especially when you’re passionate about your career. Nonetheless, finding that balance is crucial for longevity as a photographer.
Coming to you from Scott Choucino with Tin House Studio, this candid video explores his personal journey as he almost ruined his career by falling into the trap of hustle culture. He shares his experience of juggling multiple roles—running a YouTube channel, offering one-on-one mentorship, selling workshops, and working as a photographer and agent. Choucino’s story highlights the importance of not letting work define your identity and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of overworking and neglecting personal life.
Choucino’s tale becomes more relatable as he introduces a new element to his life: Teddy, a 13-week-old Golden Retriever. The puppy forces him to step away from the constant grind and brings unexpected positive changes. Choucino mentions that despite taking a month off to care for Teddy, his income remained stable. The need to attend to Teddy’s frequent demands led Choucino to a more structured daily routine, ultimately improving his overall efficiency and creativity.
The video also touches on the broader issue of hustle culture. Choucino admits to having toxic traits that pushed him to constantly seek more work and success. This led to a cycle of inefficiency and burnout. His experience is a powerful reminder that constant work without adequate breaks can diminish your motivation and productivity. The presence of Teddy forces him to take regular breaks, which he found beneficial for his mental health and creativity. This change in routine allowed him to generate better creative ideas, something he struggled with while immersed in the hustle culture.
While he doesn’t recommend everyone go out and get a dog, he emphasizes the importance of stepping back from work and finding time for yourself. This approach can lead to greater efficiency and better work quality. The video is a compelling reminder that sometimes, doing less can actually help you achieve more. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Choucino.
