is the laureate of the Factory #13.

From June 1st to July 13th 2023, Jef Bonifacino will be in residency at La Cité de l’Espace for his project entitled Unseen Apollo.

He wishes to show the lunar exploration from a subjective rereading of the Hasselblad photographs from the NASA’s missions Apollo in order to propose a new narrative without chronological reference points. In his initial collection, the photographer favors photographs considered as anecdotal, technical, with flare, negative borders, badly framed or exposed, but which possess an unexploited suggestive power or a capacity of wonder.

Jef Bonifacino is an independent photographer. He is a founding member of Inland, an international cooperative of fourteen long term documentary photographers. After studying art and art history at the University of Bordeaux, he develops projects at the crossroads of art and documentary, most often on social or environmental themes. He thus establishes links between different spaces in order to question the relationship of Man to his environment and history. To this day, he is the author of about thirty exhibitions and three books.
