Michael Najjar is an internationally renowned artist and explorer. His work spans photography, video, digital image-making, sculpture and writing. He is known for working closely at the intersection of art, science, and technology, dealing in complex and critical ways with the technological developments that are defining and drastically changing the early 21st century.

His large-format photographic works and immersive videos are generated from a highly complex digital collage of various elements and image sources, unfolding their visionary power through both their captivating aesthetics and conceptual profoundness. Najjar creates pictures that think beyond what the eye can see.
Najjar’s works are grouped in thematic series. His extensive body of work addresses the challenges, and the possibilities, that rapid technological transformation imposes on humanity. Transformation of global megacities through increasingly dense information networks, the alteration of the human body by means of biogenetic interventions, the virtualization of financial markets through intelligent algorithms, the influence of the latest space technologies on our future in space, and our planetary future in times of climate change and geoengineering. Najjar´s multidimensional practice frequently leads him to cross-field collaborations with scientists, researchers, and engineers.

The performative aspect has also become a fundamental part of Najjar´s work process. For decades now, Najjar has undertaken journeys and expeditions around the globe. His projects often stem from remote fieldwork in liminal locations, often difficult to access. He has climbed seven-thousand-metre-high peaks, scaled skyscrapers, trekked on erupting volcanoes, crossed glaciers, descended into ice caves, traversed deserts.


Work by the artist is held in museum collections, as well as in corporate and private collections worldwide. Numerous international publications are dedicated to his work.
