Born 1978 in Kalundborg, Denmark.
Lives and works in Uruguay.
Centred around the concept of time, Jeppesen allegorically explores the cross-cultural challenges that we face in the 21st century, including the rapid development of new technologies and spiritual depletion.
This is both expressed in his photographic works, where time leaves visible traces in the material, and in his large-scale installations, where the impermanence of both life and all matter is uncovered. These are grand and universal themes that have been shaped by both scientific, philosophical and spiritual narratives.
The works by Adam Jeppesen are beyond our traditional understanding of space and time, but they still serve as validation for certain moments and events, thus presenting as an enigmatic depiction of reality, where the aesthetic value of the imperfect elements is in focus, and where the works lie somewhere between perfection and imperfection, between creation and destruction.
Adam Jeppesen first gained international recognition with his Wake-series, which was published in 2008 by Steidl as a book. 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.
