Joerg Alexander is a German photographer whose works are full of symbolism, lyricism and visual sensuality. The Berlin-based photo artist creates complex images that constantly present the viewer with new puzzles. His photographs often combine different visual worlds and contain enigmatic and sometimes disturbing details.
This complexity makes his works particularly fascinating. Alexander’s photographs captivate with their intellectual depth, a special light and a sterile modern setting reminiscent of commercial photography or pop culture. There are also intuitive, erotic allusions that offer an additional level of interpretation. The appeal of his works lies in this exciting mixture of aesthetic appeal and intellectual challenge.
It is in this mixture that the real power of his images unfolds – they penetrate deep into our psyche, describing fears, urges, fetishes, fantasies and longings, and create a unique atmosphere that lies somewhere between the familiar and the archetypal.
