I am Przemek Zajfert (*1959 in Poland). For more than 25 years, I travelled through European cities as a street artist with my mobile gallery – a black box measuring 2 × 2 × 2 m. More than 13,000 people worldwide participated in my participatory projects camera obscura 2005/1–∞ and The 7th Day.
In 2022–2023, I created No Words – 365 Days in the Darkroom as a response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The work was shortlisted for the Felix Schoeller Photo Award (Peace Prize for Photography).
Since 2014, I have been working within the framework of the project Heliography 1827–2027: using Joseph Nicéphore Niépce’s original heliography process, I transfer images from Google Street View onto metal plates – searching for the last authentic photographs in a world where every image could be synthetic.
I live and work in Stuttgart.
