ALEX'S THINGS

Not really sure how to write about my work. I've spent some years trying to understand why belonging matters so much — and why the sense of safety it gives us seems to affect so much else. I've tried to work out how communication bridges all the gaps, and made some things, either out of curiosity or necessity. Most recently, films.

WE'LL SEE is a 25 minute meta-documentary about Visual Anthropology. It took me the better part of a year to research, write, produce, shoot and edit while I studied for my Master's in Manchester.

Here's the (10,000) words that accompanied the film — the research, logic, strategy, questions and theory. Read it alongside the film, instead of it or not at all. Foucault and Bauman, the ethics and morality of research and storytelling in visual anthropology. (2025).

And here's the work that preceded all of that. About meaning-making in the modern world, group and individual identity, and uncertainty. Social psychology, sociology and semiotics. (2023).

SIDE VIEW is a 15-minute-long experimental doc exploring intimacy and its ephemerality. It relied on extensive interviewing and revealed itself in personal archives.

This video was an exercise that emerged alongside a wider research project. Edited together in a morning. Shout out John Wilson.
