Considered one of the forerunners of the light painting, his work mainly focuses on this technique, as well as photo manipulation and experimental photography. His series Graffiti greffés from 1979 was exposed worldwide. In his images, he also uses collage and video. His oeuvre includes La Montagne s’ombre, a striking series dedicated to Swiss mountains, as well as a series of 60x50cm polaroids. His work is regularly published and has been exhibited many times, especially at the Musée de l’Elysée in 1987 and 2009 and at the Center for Photography in Geneva, which he co-founded. He mainly photographs nature, having a special approach and playing with light and color. The Galerie Esther Woerdehoff in Paris will host Jacques Pugin: The Knights of the Devil and Sacred Site from February 10th until March 14th, 2015.
