Bio:

Jamie Diamond (b. 1983, USA) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the construction of identity and intimacy through photography, performance, and film. For nearly two decades, she has examined the evolving nature of human connection in an increasingly mediated world, often inserting herself into her work or collaborating with strangers, actors, and outsider artists to stage alternative personas.

Diamond’s practice blurs the boundaries between the authentic and the artificial, revealing how photography not merely documents but records the complex fictions embedded in even our most personal images. Moving fluidly between the domestic and institutional, the physical and digital, the intimate and staged, her work challenges conventional narratives of truth, memory and representation.

Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, some of which include, Osservatorio, Fondazione Prada, Italy; Prada Mode, Hong Kong; Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal; Museum für neue Kunst, Germany; Mass MoCA, North Adams, The Bronx Museum, New York; Trapholt Museum, Denmark; Kunsthalle Erfurt, Germany; Fondazione La Triennale, Milan; Deichtorhallen, Hamburg; and Museo d’Arte Contemporanea della Sicilia, Palermo.

In addition, Diamond served as cinematographer and producer on the short feature film, A Minor Variation (2018) and directed /produced Skin Hunger (2024) which was screened at the Watermill Center and the Anthology Film Archives.

Diamond is a recipient of the NYFA Fellowship Award in Photography, the Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship Award, and The Sachs Program for Arts Innovation. She’s held Residencies at The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, The Bronx Museum, MassMoCA, Mana Contemporary, The Watermill Center, The Church, and the LMCC Swing Space residency and Work Space. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, artnet, AnOther Magazine, Whitewall, Muse Magazine, Aperture, Artforum, Hyperallergic, Vanity Fair, The Architects Newspaper, Vogue, and Artsy. Diamond received her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 2008 and BA from the University of Wisconsin in 2005. Since 2009, she has been lecturing in photography at the University of Pennsylvania and is currently the head of the Undergraduate Photography Department.
