Constance Jaeggi is a Swiss photographic artist based between Fort Worth, TX and Denver, CO.

Jaeggi moved to Texas from her native Switzerland in 2009 to pursue her degree from TCU and begin her competitive cutting horse-riding career. In addition to her Bachelors from TCU, Jaeggi has studied at the New York Film Academy and holds a Masters of Art History and Art World Practice from Christie’s Education.

Jaeggi’s work focuses on the relationship between horse and human, in particular women. She uses horses as a backdrop for exploring themes of intimacy and identity, connection and power dynamics.

Her work has been internationally exhibited and published. She has had two solo shows at the National Cowgirl Museum in Fort Worth, TX and has been exhibited internationally in Rome and Venice, Italy and Zurich, Switzerland. Her work has been published notably by National Geographic, The Guardian and The Washington Post. Her most recent project, Escaramuza, the Poetics of Home is a 2024 Lensculture Critics’ Choice Awards winner and will be shown at Photo London in May 2025.

Constance is also a member of Women Photograph.
