Alfi Moss White

Artist made Silver Gelatine Print on Ilford Art Paper Edition: 1/1 Image : 6x 4 inches Print 7 x 5 inches About the Artist: Alfi Moss-White (They/Them) (b. 2000) is a photographer, poet and writer born, raised, and based in South London. Driven by a lifelong fascination with the human condition, Alfi's work focuses on the places of unity and division found within it. They are interested in what it means to be human, as well as what it means not to be: “life as well as death, the rise of the chest as much as its fall”. Their work is rooted in the documentary tradition and is guided greatly by the practice of personal documentation. Alfi is interested in the fringe of society, those who occupy it and the perspective of society from it. Alfi's practice is an investigation; their photographs are their findings. They are currently studying a BA in English Literature and Language at The Open University, and are working on their first photo book, which is to be published in 2026. About the Work: Having revisited their evergrowing archive of personal and documentarian images, Alfi has began a series of work prints made with Ilford Art Paper in their home darkroom. The papers mottled texture softens the visual plain; challenging the idea that photography ‘discloses’ shaping it toward a medium more capable of a painterly and poetic; interior expression. “The painter constructs, the photographer discloses.” ― Susan Sontag, On Photography
