Alexander Korzer-Robinson

Alexander Korzer-Robinson is an artist from Berlin now residing in Bristol, Germany, with a back ground in psychology his art focuses on the humans "inner landscape". The medium he readily uses is mostly book and exacto knife with a clear coat to seal the book after its done.  His work is really cool and reminds me kind of of those fat tire commercials with all the cut outs if you have seen em. Either way, really cool and just sort of trippy stuff that could never happen in real life, its reminiscent of Salvidor Dali almost really, a semi realistic dream like state of chaos and time. "I make objects as an invitation to the viewer to engage her/his own inner life in order to assign meaning to the artwork." His book art has been made by working through the books, page by page, cutting around and cutting out every single page.. sounds tedious. as a final step he seals the book so its just a window into the soul of the book almost. Super sick, the books just look phenomenal and really questions the boundaries of book altercation.
