Alexander Silva : photography & installation, work in process

Alexander. k. Silva
Photographer from the U.S.A
on a residency at 'Tvak' since march 2013




"Over the past four years, photography moved from being a hobby, to a passion, to a feeling, to my entire existence. Even before I set up my camera, the colors and details captivate and fill my mind and spirit. People who've seen me work can attest to this transplantation into an alternate time and space, where my primal thoughts become the imaginative dreams of my viewers. Always searching for a catalyst for social discussion, my work often captures both sincere and severe feelings amongst viewers, combining artistic elements kitsch, porn, and commercial art without judgement or explanation. The work currently underway at the residency questions issues of identity, object, and erasure." says Alexander.

It’s been a busy time !
