About Alex Kemman
Alex Kemman is a documentary photographer and takes a research-based approach. He studied cultural anthropology and criminology, focusing on environmental and human rights. Most of his projects are self-initiated and he enjoys photographing visually challenging topics that show invisible and underlying processes of power. His long-term projects relate to development issues, natural resources, human rights, and ecology.
His project The last free river of Mesopotamia is about the politics of dams and the last free-flowing river (the Greater Zab) in a contested territory at the border zone of Turkey and Iraq. In Colombia, he investigated the relationship between development bank investments and human right abuses.
He initiated the Green Veins project in 2020 and has been visualizing and investigating European eco corridors. He plans to continue working on this topic in the future years, as with the intensifying climate crisis the mobility of flora and fauna is becoming increasingly urgent.
