Alexander (b. 1992) is a Polish-Canadian documentary photographer who looks to reveal how the ripples of power culminate into everyday encounters. His aim is to engage with subjects dialectically – to establish rapport and dignify their presence. He is interested in how geopolitical questions enter the quieter side of ordinary life. His works have been exhibited in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Lithuania and Finland. His works have been published in the British Journal of Photography, Der Greif, the Calvert Journal, the Photographic Museum of Humanity as well as Photoworks UK.
