Rodrigo Hill (Brasil / Aotearoa New Zealand) is a photographic artist specialised in gallery installations and publications. Rodrigo’s creative interests are rooted at the intersection of lens-based and documentary approaches in which photography plays the role of representing layered ‘place-imaginaries’. Rodrigo is a Senior lecturer at the University of Waikato School of Arts and holds a PhD in Photography (2019).
Rodrigo’s research explores the multiple possibilities that surround photographic practices and how photography is used as a way to perceive and make place. Selected works below cover a collection of recent photographs and exhibitions informed by Mātauranga Māori and intersecting relationships with place, representation and the decolonising of the photographic lens. Project collaborations also cover considerations and shared curiosity about aesthetics in the Anthropocene and how to express entangled relationships with place
Rodrigo is available to one-on-one portfolio reviews and Halide workshops.
