Andrea Jaeger (*1978) currently lives and works in Nottingham and Berlin. She pursued Communication and Media Studies (BA, HTW Berlin & Deakin University, Melbourne) and Photography Arts (MA, University of Westminster, London). Jaeger has been working at the intersection of art and research ever since. She is currently an AHRC funded PhD Doctoral candidate at NTU's Fine Art Department. She does research human-machine interactions in photographic production. Through hands-on exploration and exposure of sensuous practices in the production of photographic realities, she claims that the photographic image becomes a co-produced subjective sense-making event that is more than visual and more than representational. Her posthumanist perspective challenges the dominant image of photography as a fixed object of visual representation. Led by sensory fieldwork and deep aesthetic analysis, her art practice shows as mixed media installations with sound, video, printed matter and photographic paper to participatory art, addressing topics such as displacement, deep matter and feminism. She has exhibited regionally and internationally with group and solo shows in the UK, US, Germany, Switzerland and Denmark. Jaeger was awarded the prestigious Attenborough Prize 2015.
