Graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie of Arles and winner of many prizes, Jürgen Nefzger (born in 1968 in Fürth) has been developing an ambitious body of work that questions the relationships between environmental changes and economic mutations for more than twenty years.

The exhibition held at the Maison d’Art Bernard Anthonioz looks through his artistic trajectory through the gathering of both emblematic series like Hexagone, and specifically Fluffy Clouds, and more recent or unseen works like Athens, La loi du sol… The exhibition is completed by an exclusive movie, The Eye of the bull, shot between New York Financial District and Spain.

Without splashes yet with sharpness and a touch of irony, Nefzger’s photographs provide tools to measure the state of the contemporary world and the changes at work over the last generation. They also help us imagining the potential impacts of these changes on the generations to come.

This exhibition is part of the Mois de la Photo du Grand Paris of April 2017 and is supported by the galerie Françoise Paviot, Paris.
