Bio

Jonas St. Michael is a Canadian artist working in photography and film. His work explores the unstable relationship between reality and fiction, using photography and cinema to examine how place, identity, and social experience are continually constructed, performed, and reimagined.

He holds a Master of Fine Arts from Goldsmiths, University of London, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Concordia University in Montreal.

St. Michael's work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at Haus am Lützowplatz (Berlin), OK Harris (New York), and MOMENTA | Biennale de l'Image (Montreal). He has received support from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ) and the Canada Council for the Arts (CCA).

His work has also been developed through several international artist residencies, including the British School at Rome (2016) and the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in Brooklyn, New York (2018). In 2023, he participated in a residency exchange between Quebec and Mexico supported by the Sistema de Apoyos a la Creación y Proyectos Culturales (SACPC) and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ).
