Alexander Binder was born in 1976 in the Black Forest/Germany. He is a self-taught photographer and has a degree in economics. Both – his photo and his film projects – are characterized by a fascination for the mystic, the spiritual and the occult.

“The overall style of my work derives from the self made lenses i use.The photos are blurred, diffuse and they give a lot of space for your peronal imagination. But it’s not only the style of my photographs - it’s also the subjects i deal with. Most of my projects move between two extremes: On one side the naive ideal of a romanticised, virgin nature in which light unfolds it’s primordial power, as the basic energy of life. And on the other side, the disenchanted monochrome works, that reflect the dystopian living circumstances of modern society.” (via)
