Jeremy Hutchison

Jeremy Hutchison (b. 1979) is a British artist based in London.

Working across performance, sculpture, and video, his practice explores themes of power and resistance. Much of his work intervenes in systems of global production, interrogating the complex relationship between consumerism and Empire.

Hutchison has produced work in China, India, Palestine, Senegal, Taiwan, Egypt, Somalia, Cambodia, Mexico, and Greece. In each context, he seeks to collapse geographic, historical, and bodily space to expose the entanglement between contemporary consumer practices and colonial histories. His work frequently appropriates the aesthetics of capitalist spectacle—its forms, structures, and surfaces—collaborating with industrial facilities, film crews, and fashion photographers to develop a visual language marked by “wrong-headed commercialism”: a seductive kind of nonsense that continually punctures its own logic.

At its core, Hutchison’s practice challenges the tyranny of common sense. Through rupturing logic, collapsing norms, and weaponising humour for political ends, he constructs a form of radical absurdity plunged through the surface of neoliberalism. The result is a self-devouring monster—an absurd spectacle that turns on itself.
