Work #143, 2023
Adam Jeppesen, born in 1978 in Denmark and now living in Maldonado, Uruguay, is a visual artist whose work delves deeply into the themes of time and materiality. His art embraces imperfection, transforming it into a focal point that enhances the beauty of his photographs and installations. Jeppesen’s works present a mysterious depiction of reality, where he honours the physical imperfections that emerge, allowing time to leave its mark on the photographic materials.
Adam Jeppesen gained international recognition with his “Wake” series, which was published as a book by Steidl in 2008. In 2009, Jeppesen was nominated for both the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize and the KLM Paul Huf Award. His work has been exhibited worldwide and is present in the collection at the Denver Art Museum (USA), the Danish Arts Foundation, the National Public Art Council in Sweden, the National Museum of Photography in Denmark, as well as in numerous private collections.
