Lives in Barcelona (ES).

Alex Llovet studied Humanities, Cinema, and Photography at the IEFC in Barcelona, where he now works as a professor. His work is based on two primary themes: identity and memory, and is characterised by a will to construct poetic conceptual narratives by decontextualising his images, subliming the everyday to uncover realities beyond appearances. Llovet has exhibited at several photography festivals including Nexofoto, Espy Photography, Encontros da Imagem, Focus Photography Festival, Fotofever, DOCfield, Begira Photo, Lumínic, Fotonoviembre and Revela-T. His work has received awards on a number of occasions including LensCulture Critic’s Choice, shortlisted at Voies Off Arles and PhotoEspaña, a mention of honor at Nexofoto, best emergent photographer at Photogenic Festival, a grant at the VI Photographic Grant AFTM, and selected at Cortona On the Move, Photographic Museum of Humanity, Athens Photo Festival, BIPA and SCAN Tarragona.

In addition to a novel Las fotos que nunca hice (2020), he has published five photobooks: Querido vecino: (2014), Faraway So Close (2016), Beware of The Dog (2018), The Escape Velocity (2020) and Not About Lockdown (2021).

My work is represented by Fifty Dots Gallery, and I’m co-founder and editor at Ediciones Posibles, a publishing house specialising in photobooks.
