  High energy multiparticle photoproduction off nuclear targets is studied. The
photon is assumed to interact in direct scattering processes or as a resolved
$q\bar{q}$-state according to the Generalized Vector Dominance Model. In the
description of resolved interactions multiple soft and hard processes in each
$q\bar{q}$--nucleon interaction are taken into consideration. The model,
formulated within the framework of the two-component Dual Parton Model, is
shown to agree with hadron production data from real and weakly virtual
photon-nucleus interactions. Differences between multiparticle production in
photon-nucleus and hadron-nucleus interactions and features of jet production
in photon-nucleus collisions at HERA-energies are discussed.
