Portrait de Jessica Wynne lors de l'exposition Mondo Reale, Triennale Milano, Milan, 2022

Jessica Wynne is a photographer known for her photographs of blackboards on which scientists have written, which she captures at the same time as nurturing a close relationship with them and their work.

In doing so, she explores the trails of mathematical thought, unveiling moments of reflection and freezing them in time before they are erased. A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute (1994) and of Yale University (1999), she teaches at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. A recipient of a Fellowship to MacDowell, her work has been published in The New York Times, Fortune Magazine, The New Yorker, National Geographic et Scientific American.

Jessica Wynne has exhibited at Mondo Reale as part of the 23rd International Exhibition at the Triennale Milano, he participation having been inspired in large part by the publication of her monograph, Do Not Erase, published in 2021 by Princeton University Press, in which she explores her research on memory, and its permanence. On this occasion, and commissioned by the Fondation Cartier, she photographed the blackboard of Italian physicist, Carlo Rovelli.
