Alexandre Kurek (he/him) was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and grew up in Germany—two geographic poles that early on shaped his interest in places, in movement, and in the lived experience of urban landscapes. What the German word Fernweh (a longing for elsewhere) tries to capture only partially describes what drives his practice: a need to observe, to collect, and to document. For him, cities are not just spaces of density, but social textures that can be read both visually and theoretically.

Alexandre lives and works in Berlin. His work is informed by documentary practice, artistic research, and theoretical approaches to the city—particularly in relation to space, power, and image. In 2018, he founded the platform ↘︎ allcitiesarebeautiful.com (currently in redesign) as a space to publish, contextualize, and share urban imagery—and to give visibility to other perspectives.

He is currently studying Media Studies (EMW) at the University of Potsdam and the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, with a focus on artistic research. His interest lies in the intersections of visual anthropology, urban studies, and media aesthetics—with questions of representation, memory, and publicness at the center. Photography, for him, is not a tool of illustration, but a method of inquiry: it produces visibility, but also exclusions. He is concerned with how urban spaces are structured, perceived, and documented—and what role images play within these processes.
