Jackie Nickerson Biography

Jackie Nickerson creates photographs that examine identity and the physical and psychological condition of working within a specific environment. Her photographs challenge conventional notions of making portraits and landscapes and offer a more engaged view of her subjects. In each body of work like Farm; Faith; Terrain; and Ten Miles Round Nickerson has created a graceful meditation on helping the viewer understand what it is to belong.
Nickerson is an American born British conceptual documentary photographer. Her work has been exhibited in many museums including the Museum of Modern Art Salzburg; Palais des Beaux-Arts Brussels; Mudam Musee d’Art Moderne Luxembourg; Galleria d’Arte dell’Istituto Portoghesi Rome; National Portrait Gallery London; Irish Museum of Modern Art Dublin; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art Kansas; Santa Barbara Museum of Art; Sunderland Museum; Harn Museum Gainesville; Vatican Museums Rome; Hereford Museum UK; Abdijdmuseum Ten Duinen Belgium; and Benaki Museum Athens.
While living in Zimbabwe in the 1990s she made her first body of work FARM. It concentrates on how individual identity is made through improvisation. This was published by Jonathan Cape in September 2002. and was followed by a German edition entitled ‘Leben Mit Der Erde’ published by Frederking and Thaler (2002) and a French edition ‘Une Autre Afrique’ published by Flammarion (2002). Nickerson’s latest body of work Terrain published in 2014 by TF editions takes a broader view focusing on labor and the synergy between cultivation workers and the environment. In an interview for Cult magazine in July 2013 Nickerson said “TERRAIN is about us in the landscape how we change the world we inhabit at every moment of our being human and how for better and for worse the world that we make in turn changes who we are.”
