2023 Shortlist

Alexander (b. 1992), is a Polish-Canadian documentary photographer who looks to reveal the omittances of everyday life and dignify peoples’ presence in relation to wider geopolitical and socio economic questions.

In his project he aims to delve into the transformation of Finnish malls, transcending their traditional role as mere shopping venues. This exploration draws inspiration from the intriguing interplay between stereotypical Nordic tradition and the sweeping forces of globalism.
