We are pleased to share the opening of Inferno & Paradiso, a solo exhibition by Alfredo Jaar at Photo Elysée, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Inferno & Paradiso is an immersive slide-projection exhibition created by Alfredo Jaar, one of the most socially active artists of our day. For this show, Jaar selected 20 contemporary reportage photographers and asked each of them to choose two images from their archives – the most painful one they had taken and the most hopeful one.
Like Virgil in Dante’s Divine Comedy, Jaar takes us on a journey through heaven and hell, confronting us with our own (in)sensitivity in the face of the relentless flow of images of human suffering.
Opening 26 June 2026, Inferno & Paradiso will be on view until 1 November 2026.
