Jason Hendardy (b. 1987, San Francisco Bay Area) is based in Seattle. He is interested in how people use images, objects, and spaces to make sense of a world that does not come already explained. The work resists the idea that the present is all there is, along with the limits it places on what feels possible. His multidisciplinary practice is anchored in photography and extends into video, sound, and sculpture.

Across these forms, Hendardy considers how personal and cultural narratives are assembled. His work often uses the language of documentation while pushing against its authority, treating photographs as unstable objects that shape what can be known. These ideas come together in This Is a Test (Gnomic Book, 2024), a Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation Book of the Month selection. His work has been recognized by publications including Der Greif and Yogurt Magazine, and is held in library collections at the Museum of Modern Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Harvard University, and others.
