CHRISTOPHE JAGER | SILVER

Less radiant but equally expressive, silver holds an essential place in Christophe Jager’s photographic research. A metal of reflections and shimmering light, it allows him to work with subtle contrasts and almost liquid nuances. Silver acts as a surface of projection — sometimes a mirror, sometimes a screen — capturing and reflecting light in a play of ambiguities. This treatment turns it into an element that is both modern and timeless, where the supposed coldness of metal is infused with poetry. In his images, silver becomes a fluid and mysterious material, carrying a silent yet powerful visual intensity.
