Jimmy Nelson Travels to the Marquesas Islands for New Photography
9 July 2026
This month, Jimmy Nelson is on the Marquesas Islands.
Working with his analogue 8×10 large-format camera to create new photographs for the upcoming exhibition at Te Fare Manaha, the Musée de Tahiti et des Îles (October 2026 – February 2027).
The journey is more than a photographic production. Jimmy is working alongside local artists and communities, and the encounters that emerge from this collaboration form the heart of what the exhibition will show: not a story about the Marquesas, but one told together with the islands.
Keep an eye on our social channels in the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing live updates from the encounters, the process behind the work, and first glimpses of the images as they take shape.
