About the exhibition Jeff Wall – Time Stands Still. Photographs, 1980–2023

For the first time in Portugal, Jeff Wall presents the exhibition Time Stands Still. Photographs, 1980–2023 at MAAT — one of the most comprehensive showcases of his career. Featuring over 60 works that occupy the entire MAAT Gallery, the exhibition brings together meticulously staged images that explore themes such as loneliness, alienation, urban violence, and social neglect. Known for his cinematic approach to composition, Jeff Wall merges reality and fiction in a unique photographic practice that blurs the boundaries between painting, photography, and film.

We look forward to seeing you!
