Jordan Stokes is a photographic and media artist based in Canberra, Australia. His practice investigates past and present understandings of landscape and the built environment, with particular attention given to how architecture embodies cultural ideals, political ambition and social memory. Through photographic and media-based practice, Stokes examines sites shaped by human intervention, exploring the tension between intended form and lived reality.

Central to his work is an interest in time, and how it acts upon architecture, erodes certainty and reshapes perception. Buildings and urban spaces are approached not as static objects, but as evolving markers of aspiration, decay and adaptation. By engaging with architectural history, urban exploration and spatial inquiry, his practice considers how photographic documentation simultaneously records and interprets these environments, highlighting the distance between vision, use and remembrance. Photography becomes both an evidentiary tool and a subjective lens through which changing ideals and constructed landscapes are reconsidered and experienced.

Jordan is a graduate of UNSW Art & Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (2005) and the University of Technology Sydney with a Master of Media Arts and Production (2008). He has held several solo exhibitions and has participated in numerous group exhibitions and art awards throughout Australia.
