Ich träum’ mich so—a ghost of a dream. Time unhinged, space untethered. An endless sequence of atmospheric photographs, inspired by the aesthetic of vintage slide projections.
Diverse locations, temporal layers, and emotional states converge, shedding their original contexts. The magnified world of the macro lens merges with vast landscapes, while intricate natural textures intersect with technological and human-made structures. I see everything. I see nothing.
An ambient soundscape deepens the contemplative atmosphere, echoing the introspective imagery that emerges in moments of reverie or meditation.
Blurred contours and luminous reflections are not the product of post-production. Rather, they arise from the experimental use of vintage lenses, pinholes, and optical tools such as filters and prisms. Through these techniques, Alexander crafts a visual language that is both enigmatic and evocative. In doing so, he invites us into a shifting interplay of clarity and ambiguity, urging us to navigate perception and imagination with curiosity and wonder.
