Jamie O’Connell was born in 1985 in Bolivia Hill, New South Wales, Australia. Lives and works in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia.

Jamie O’Connell is an artist whose work explores complex ideas around temporalities, relating to themes including uncharted territories, geography and astrology. Working across sculpture, video, neon and site-specific installations, O’Connell incorporates elements of popular culture and the common vernacular, and uses linguistic wordplay as a conceptual impulse. O’Connell’s work reflects on the experience of time and physical space within the context of late capitalism.
