From the series Parallel Universes of the Self
Alexander Sporre who sees his photography as a by-product of a metaphysical search for reality. His work addresses the philosophical — and often poetic — illusion of a knowable and rational self. In photography, he operates on the border of fiction and non-fiction. Sporre investigates reality not as experienced through our senses, but as that which transcends matter; a world of timeless and everlasting ideas and forms. Alexander Sporre uses (un)conventional photography techniques – combining both analogue and digital methods — to abstract the known reality as much as possible, and to create an entirely new vision. "I try to avoid connecting words or themes to my photography, as it's in the intangibility of the photograph where words are made redundant," says Alexander.
