The artistic work of Andreas Gefeller comprises the series Halbwertszeiten (1996), Soma (2000), Supervisions (since 2002), The Japan Series (2010) and Blank (begun in 2010).

The blinding light of civilisation allows the series Blank to become an allegory of today's fast-moving and over stimulated society. The Japan Series was photographed in the context of »European Eyes on Japan« in the prefecture Tottori. In the series Supervisions, Gefeller employs a technically elaborate method to scan the surfaces of urban sites. By means of long-term exposure, the Duesseldorf based photo artist has captured a world of starkly utopian quality in Soma. Halbwertszeiten throws an intense light on people and landscapes in the near surroundings of Tschernobyl − 10 years after the nuclear catastrophe.
