Jesse Darling (b. Oxford, UK) is an artist based in London and Berlin working in sculpture, installation, text and sound. His practice delves into the fallibility, adaptability, and vulnerability of living beings, societies and technologies. Using everyday materials like steel, plastic, and objects found in most households, Jesse fosters connections between individual existence and collective humanity, reflecting on impermanence and the shared condition that binds us together. Jesse has been shortlisted for the Turner Prize 2023.
