Time-lapse video of the installation and disintegration of Women are Heroes, a public work by JR:

One of the passers-by interviewed for this video says: “I hope that it will last a long time. At least long enough for me not to notice it anymore.” This is as profound a comment on public art as you’re likely to hear.
