About event
Jeff Wall develops large-format photographic works that combine conceptual rigor with the imagery of painting and cinema. His often staged and precisely composed images range from digital montages and luminous slides to black and white and inkjet prints. Based on art historical, literary and contemporary references, Wall addresses violence, memory and everyday life in formats that he himself describes as “cinematography” and “near documentary”.
He is considered a key figure in the recognition of color photography as an independent art form and was awarded the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography (2006) and the Audain Prize for Lifetime Achievement (2008). His work has been exhibited internationally, including at MoMA New York, the Tate Modern London, the Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin and the Art Institute of Chicago.
The conversation will take place in English.
Free entry.

Jeff Wall creates large-scale photographic works that blend conceptual rigor with the visual languages of painting and cinema. Often staged and meticulously composed, his images range from digital montages and illuminated transparencies to black-and-white and inkjet color prints. Drawing on art history, literature and contemporary culture, Wall explores themes such as violence, memory and the everyday through what he calls “cinematography” and “near documentary.”
He represented a turning point in the acceptance of color photography as a fine art form and was awarded the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography (2006) and the Audain Prize for Lifetime Achievement (2008). His work has been exhibited internationally, including at MoMA New York, Tate Modern London, the Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin and the Art Institute of Chicago.
