French artist JR reveals next project will take place at Egypt’s Pyramids of Giza

French artist JR – famous for installing giant black-and-white trompe l'oeil in public places – has revealed that his next project will be at the Pyramids of Giza in Cairo.

JR made the announcement on Instagram with a picture of himself on horseback with the pyramids in the background.

“Proud to announce my next project at the Pyramids in October 2021,” he wrote, adding that the artwork “might be a photo collage”. It appears that the artist visited the site in April this year.
