His exhibition - sculpture, painting, photography and graphical art; performance as a percussion soloist; realization of interactive projects; also self-made music for theater and radio plays are becoming more and more popular.
The Russian Museum of Ethnography represented his photo-exhibition "About water".
Jeff Beer: "Because of the materials I was using, I had to work every day. The work is created layer upon layer, and fresh-sprayed concrete does not bind well to concrete that is completely dry. The day I made the photos of the "Unterwasserblatter" ("Underwaterleaves") was Sunday. The first thing that came to my mind was to go down to the brook and have a look at Raphaela's weir. I had my digital camera with me and started looking at the water through its small lens - I slowly got into it, got into seeing water. I have always liked to watch water and have been fascinated with it for a long time. I am fascinated by the things water can do and experience it almost as a living being. So it was not like taking pictures of a brook. More so, it was like loosing the connection to my surroundings and being absorbed by the brook. Yes, it was warm and sunny that day in October. I realized leaves were falling in red, yellow, and even in green. Some falling into the water of this brook from time to time - coming downstream, downbrook, being carried by the water and I was part of this rhythm".
The exhibition based on this material will be conducted in the Russian Museum of Ethnography from 7th to 23 of April.
