Duration: January 31–April 26, 2026

Form, colour, and light are the defining elements of the visual cosmos of the internationally acclaimed photographer Jessica Backhaus. This comprehensive exhibition brings together works from the past twenty-five years, offering an exceptional insight into Backhaus’s artistic evolution.

Spanning her early documentary practice, the gradual shift toward abstraction, and culminating in her latest series, “Papyrus,” presented here for the first time, the selection traces the breadth and nuance of her œuvre. read more
