In his work, weather conditions are always extreme: the city is seen through a windowpane dripping with rain or a curtain of snow. His images capture the beauty of megacities transfigured by the weather with perfection and poetry. In his eyes, \"there are two ways of photographing the world: capturing its horror or sublimating it.\" In view of his nature photography, it quickly becomes clear which he prefers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLost in the Beauty of Bad Weather\u003c\/em\u003e offers text in English and German.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Born in 1960, the French artist Christophe Jacrot has been experimenting with photography since his youth, but he first attracted attention in the world of film.
