Born on the outskirts of Paris in 1989, Jason Pocklington is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the relationship between place, culture, and identity.

Having grown up between several countries and cultures, he developed a lasting fascination with the ways landscapes, histories, and human encounters shape our perception of the world and our sense of belonging within it.

A graduate of the École Boulle in Paris, he designs and builds sculptural furniture pieces inspired by the places that have marked his life. His first two collections, La Garrigue and Tāmaki Makaurau, draw from Southern France and Auckland, New Zealand, translating architectural forms, cultural influences, and personal memories into objects.

Photography has been a constant part of his life since his teenage years. Through travel and immersion in unfamiliar environments, he seeks to document reality with honesty and sensitivity, creating images that explore both the specificity of a place and the experiences that connect people across cultures.

More recently, he has expanded his artistic practice into film and theatre as an actor. For him, performance offers another way of exploring identity and the many perspectives through which people experience the world.
