Alexander Aburanem’s practice is rooted in a high-intensity routine focused on durable mediums like oil on aluminum and massive, raw fabric works designed to bypass mental control and force bodily participation.
During the Studio Program Art Residency at BERLIN ART INSTITUTE, he produced a body of work that serves as a visual diary, capturing the raw, unfolding frames of a friendship between two people who, in any ordinary life, likely would have never crossed paths.
This series of works functions as a sequence of snapshots, freezing intimate moments of connection that feel deeply human, spontaneous, and entirely unrepeatable outside of this specific time and place. (Text courtesy of the artist).
