Jordan Hearns is an Irish artist.
His practice is an exploration into the significance of communal and domestic spaces as vessels for individualism and expression, explored through the contexts of time, memory and ephemerality. Hearns’ work is concerned with underground clubbing spaces and their immediate communities, fleeting romantic chronicles and transient urban floral-scapes. His most recent works are presented in a mixed-media manner, incorporating still and moving image, audio production and curation, and artist-editioned publications.
He is a graduate of Photography from the Technological University Dublin (2021) and recipient of the Photo Museum Ireland Early Career Artist Award, 2021 - 2022. Varying works and subsequent publications from Hearns are housed in the PhotoIreland Archive, Photo Museum Ireland’s Archive of Irish Contemporary Photography, The Bishopsgate Institute, and Yves Saint Laurent Archive.
Publications include The Face, i-D, YSL, GCN, Irish Arts Review, DJ Mag, Sabukaru, Adonis, and more.
