Chalon-sur-Saône, Niépce’s birthplace

Przemek Zajfert (b. 1959, Poland) worked for over 25 years as a street artist, traveling through European cities with his mobile gallery — a black box, 2 × 2 × 2 m. His participatory projects camera obscura 2005/1–∞ and The 7th Day involved more than 13,000 participants worldwide. In 2022–2023 he created No Words — 365 days in the darkroom as a response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, shortlisted for the Felix Schoeller Photo Award. Since 2014 he has been transferring frames from Google Street View onto aluminum using Nicéphore Niépce’s original process.
He lives and works in Stuttgart.
