DANIEL O'GORMAN Represents

We are delighted to introduce and represent Alexander Binder.

Alexander Binder was born on Halloween night 1976 in the Black Forest/Germany. He is a self-taught photographer and has a degree in economics. Both his image and his film projects are characterized by a fascination for the mystic, the spiritual and the occult. Alexander grew up in a rural area shaped by the fairy tales of Wilhelm Hauff and the Brothers Grimm. This early contact with mythical creatures made him spent the whole puberty in the local video rental store, watching a surreal mélange of science fiction and horror movies. His production process combines digital recording technology with self-built lenses and creates a blurred, diffuse and somewhat psychedelic look.

Alex’s work has been featured in kinki magazine, revel in NEW YORK, HUH MAGAZINE, Vice Magazine “The Photo Issue 2009”, Fjord Photo, 180 Magazine, DayFour Photography+, Orte Magazine, Invisible City Magazine, Wassenaar Magazine, U_MAG, Klitorik Magazine and F-Stop Magazine.

He has exhibited in Shaw Gallery - Toronto, GEZ. – Raum für Urheber - Stuttgart, RULE Gallery - Denver, The Printspace - London, Le Petit Mignon - Berlin, Space Womb - New York, Unseen Photography - Nottingham, Centre Pompidou, Paris, Humble Arts Foundation - Online, Rotating Gallery - New York, Galerie Lendroit - Rennes and Heaven Gallery - Chicago.

His video “Pluton” was selected for the 8th annual Urban Nomad Film Festival in Taipei in 2009.
