Case Jernigan makes happy sad stop-motion films. He makes paperworks, drawings and prints too. Case grew up in Charleston, SC, where people tell stories to reveal things about themselves. He makes work about vulnerability, artistic integrity, embarrassment, sickness and healing. He lives with multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that affects his brain and spine. His projects reclaim pieces of his lost self by building memory palaces and preserving small pieces of knowledge. It’s not easy, but he feels lucky.
Case has shown short films and won awards in dozens of film festivals, like Slamdance, HotDocs, Sweaty Eyeballs and Salute Your Shorts. His films have been Vimeo Staff Picks on 5 occasions. He’s a Screen Australia grant recipient.
Case has participated in many artist residencies, notably through the Sharpe-Walentas Program, The Center for Book Arts, and the Saltonstall Foundation. He’s exhibited his work in the US, England and Italy, and he’s made commissioned work for clients like the New York Times, The Guardian, Pop-Up Magazine, Adidas, Nike, and even athletes like Venus Williams and Ronaldinho.
He’s making a videogame called ‘Bub’ with his friend Todd Anderson about healing and artmaking. He studied painting at William & Mary and the New York Studio School, and printmaking at Il Bisonte, Firenze. He lives in Italy with his beloved partner and rabbits.
