Christopher Jonassen (b. 1978, Stavanger) is a visual artist working solely on independent photo projects. Through them he has gained wide press coverage and participated in numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally.
Thematically, the projects can be described as studies of human patterns of action. A driving force is the desire to show simple, everyday phenomena in new and unexpected ways, where the question of what we actually witness and what it can tell us about our culture and ourselves comes to the fore.
His work has been featured in TIME Lightbox, National Geographic, The Independent, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Der Spiegel, Kunst, Magasinet Fotografi, Stavanger Aftenblad, Rogalands Avis, A-magasinet, NASAs twitter feed, and more.
Exhibitions include Høstutstillingen (Kunstnernes Hus), Stavanger kunstmuseum, Rogaland kunstsenter, Fotografiens hus, Skur 2, Tou Scene, Preus fotomuseum, and more.
Member of: Forbundet Frie Fotografer (FFF), Bildende kunstneres forening Rogaland (BKFR), Norske billedkunstnere (NBK) and Grafill.
