Jonathan Kay – Massey University Lecturer/Master of Fine Arts Coordinator

Jonathan Kay is a photographic artist, researcher, and lecturer based at Massey University in Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington. His work explores the intersection of art and science, using photography to reveal the unseen and challenge conventional notions of landscape. Over the past seven years, his research has focused on developing a site-specific and responsive approach to photographic interventions within the landscape.

Drawing inspiration from scientific ‘fieldwork,’ Kay’s practice involves close observation and data collection, using these methods to uncover new insights into specific environments. However, his approach extends beyond the typical scientific framework by leveraging the unique possibilities of the photographic medium. This process enables him to move beyond the traditional, idealized representation of landscapes, offering deeper, more complex interpretations.
