Jonas Feige (b. 1988) is a photographer based near Frankfurt am Main. He uses photography to pay close attention to the world around him and as a tool for observing the mundane in an attempt to extract some of its magic. Beyond his curiosity in the appearance of things, his work often revolves around the effects of history and the relationships of people to their spaces. Regardless of the subject matter, he combines a documentary interest in the world with a visual language that aims to take the viewer somewhere beyond the eye.
He has published three photobooks. From 2016–21, he worked with the photographer Yana Wernicke on Zenker, an examination of the history of German colonialism in Cameroon based on a portrait of the botanist and gardener G.A. Zenker. A book of the project was published in 2021 by Edition Patrick Frey.
In 2018–19, he participated in the ISSP master class of Clare Strand and Gordon MacDonald, where he began work on the project This Soil, which explores the idea of a hallowed German ground and the nation's founding myths. The work was later nominated for the MACK First Book Award and published by Kominek Books in 2021.
In 2024, he published his third book, A Narrow Foothold, a collaboration with American photographer Alan Huck. Inspired by the methodology of Walter Benjamin’s Passagenwerk, the two sorted through their archives of orphaned images in order to assemble a collective portrait of an anonymous city.
