Ziggy Lever is an artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, whose work explores themes of temporality, site-specific installation, and perception through collaboration/cooperation, sound, moving image, sculpture, and installation. His work explores temporality in the detritus of industry and manufacturing processes, scientific making and contexts, and spaces of archival research. Lever considers materials as time-based documents that draw across temporal fields of installation. These come together in sometimes tenuous and provisional arrangements of things: image, intervention, and ephemera.

Lever holds a PhD in practice-led visual arts from Auckland University of Technology, where he teaches in the Photography, Sculpture, and Moving Image major. Lever was a co-director at RM Gallery and Project Archive between 2014 and 2017. He is a current member of Bioart Society, the Old Folks Association, the Substantial Motion Research Network (SMRN), and a founding member of The Observatory Project.
