The Bayerisches Nationalmuseum (Bavarian National Museum) is dedicating its first major solo exhibition to the artist Stefan Seffrin and his Psychonaut project (2019-2024).

In more than 40 large-format photographic works, some of which have never been shown before, the artist allows the figure of the psychonaut to travel through our present. The psychonaut, in his different appearance, breaks with the scenes captured by Stefan Seffrin and casts an emotionless gaze from his surroundings back at the viewer. As an alien figure, his cool detachment encourages us to reflect on the state of our world today. As a traveller, the psychonaut will ultimately leave our world just as unselfconsciously as he entered it, as a figure of light, a silent and yet meaningful memorial to our present.
