John Hamon posters
Hamon began postering the image of his Identity Card photo on Parisian walls in 2001.[2] The image itself was taken in 2000, when Hamon was an eighteen-year-old high-school student.[2] Later Hamon projected the image on notable buildings (Palais de Tokyo, Palais-Royal and Bibliothèque nationale de France).[4] Hamon has displayed the image in monuments across the world - such as the Tower of Pisa - [4][5] in 33 countries and 77 cities[6] In April 2019 he projected his image onto the Eiffel Tower.[7] For the most part, Hamon has acted as a guerilla artist postering without permission, he was once arrested for attempting to project onto Notre-Dame de Paris.[6] He was released without charge.[6]
The image is the basis of all his published works to date.[2]
