Mexico City (CNN) As the Trump administration eyes the border wall, so does an elusive French street artist.

Building a massive dining table across both sides of the US-Mexico border in the small Mexican town of Tecate, artist JR painted "the eyes of the dreamer" on top of the bench. In a special one-day-only setup, one eye is meticulously placed on either side of the border. People gathered around the table to enjoy the sun and the food on both sides.

In a post on his Instagram, people are sitting on benches at the "giant picnic," as he calls it. "[P]eople eating the same food, sharing the same water, enjoying the same music (half of the band on each side) around the eye of a dreamer," he says.

Thanks to all the daydreamers that joined us yesterday 🙏 #PicNicAtTheBorder 📷 @marc A post shared by JR (@jr) on Oct 9, 2017 at 3:43pm PDT

President Trump rescinded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program in September. The program was enacted through an executive order by President Barack Obama in 2012. However, the administration also has given Congress a six-month window to find an alternative to protect those 800,000 Dreamers, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children, to remain in the United States.

JR expected the dining table to be brought down, saying he thought the picnic "was clearly forbidden." Instead, one of his co-artists, Mia Maestro, posted a video of herself bringing tea to a US Federal Agent on one side and JR on the other side. The two stand with the copper-toned pillars of the wall between them. JR asks the border agent, "Will you share tea with me now?" The agent replies with a small smile as the two clink their cups with a "salud" from the artist.
