1945年出生于日本兵库县。1967年毕业于京都市立艺术大学雕塑系，获得美术学士学位。与他的同代人罗伯特·史密森、克里斯·伯登和戈登·马塔-克拉克一样，野村仁也是一位雕塑家，他率先使用摄影来记录20世纪60年代末和70年代初那些往往转瞬即逝、以过程为导向的艺术作品。从他最早的作品《迟钝学》（1968-69年）开始，野村仁不再强调物体本身，而是开始研究时间的流逝、物质的基本原理和宇宙的节奏。他追求的持久性和长期重复性是他创作过程的核心特征。
早在1969年，野村仁就开始使用氧气、干冰和其他与科学而非艺术更相关的材料制作电影和声音作品。在“月亮”乐谱（1975-）和地球自转（1978-79）等系列中，野村使用相机、精密的望远镜和计算机来展示记录时间流逝和恒星和行星运动的蜿蜒线条。1980年，野村开始进行全天曝光，追踪太阳在天空中的轨迹；通过这种方式，他观察到了一年中凹凸线对比的现象。他的《日行迹》系列就说明了这一现象，代表着无休止的循环和再生的象征。出于对太阳的兴趣，野村在过去20年里一直在收集小行星，并从1993年开始制造和驾驶太阳能汽车。
野村的作品曾多次在博物馆举办个展，包括1987年在大阪举行的国立现代艺术博物馆；1995 年在东京都写真博物馆；2000年在茨城县水户艺术塔举行的当代艺术中心；爱知县丰田市立美术馆，2001年；东京国立新美术馆，2009年。
Born in 1945 in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. He graduated with a BFA from Kyoto City University of Arts, Department of Sculpture, in 1967. Like his contemporaries Robert Smithson, Chris Burden, and Gordon Matta-Clark, Nomura is a sculptor who pioneered the use of photography to document the often ephemeral and process-oriented artworks of the late 1960s and early 1970s. With his earliest works, such as Tardiology (1968–69), Nomura began turning away from an emphasis on the object in itself in favor of investigations into the passage of time, the fundamentals of matter, and the rhythms of the universe. Persistence and repetition pursued over long periods of time are central characteristics of his process.
As early as 1969, Nomura began making film and sound pieces using oxygen, dry ice, and other materials that are more commonly associated with science than with art. In series such as ‘moon’ score (1975–) and Earth Rotation (1978–79), Nomura used cameras, sophisticated telescopes, and computers to reveal sinuous lines that recorded the passage of time and the motion of stars and planets. In 1980, Nomura began making daylong exposures that tracked the sun through the sky; by doing so, he observed the phenomenon of contrasting concave and convex lines over the course of a year. His Analemma series illustrates this phenomenon, representing a symbol of endless recycling and regeneration. As part of his interest in the sun, Nomura has collected asteroids for last two decades and has also built and raced solar-powered cars since 1993.
Nomura’s work has been the subject of numerous museum solo exhibitions, including the National Museum of Modern Art, Osaka, 1987; Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, 1995; Contemporary Art Center, Art Tower Mito, Ibaraki, 2000; Toyota Municipal Museum of Art, Aichi Prefecture, 2001; and National Art Center, Tokyo, 2009.
