Alexandre Santos was born in Goiânia/Brazil in 1967.

At the age of 24 he run away from the Brazilian Government Collor’s dictatorship and also the one inflicted on him by himself and went to London. Santos found a path with a photographic camera and ended up studying at the Kensington and Chelsea Adult Education College. During almost four years he photographed the British daily life. Back to Brazil in 1994 he got an article at the distinguished brazilian photographic magazine IRISfoto, from São Paulo. On the same year he did his first exhibition at the Brazil/USA Inter Art Gallery Centre on Curitiba city. Entitled “London, from the side without light” the study embodied homeless people daily life. Two years later other moments of the London daily life were incorporated, enlarging the project to the exhibition "In the lime lights of London" (Photogallery of the National Theater - Brasilia/Federal District).<!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 21 false false false PT-BR X-NONE X-NONE <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]> <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Tabela normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} <![endif]-->). In the course of the next fourteen years the moments of the human daily life were expanded even more by incorporating four other cities: Brasília, Curitiba, Goiânia, Anápolis. This approach brought into life (2010) an investigation of the inner city. An (almost) invented city materialized on "Surrounding almost"(www.emtornodoquase.blogspot.com). Santos is carrying out two other projects: “Moving Labyrinth” (www.labirintomovel.blogspot.com ) and “Intervals & traces – Goiânia” (www.vestigiosgyn.blogspot.com). The first one began on 1992 and through the naked body investigates the artistic passion. The second one, emerged from 2008 and still in progress, investigates the city of Goiânia by its traces and intervals. (February/2011)
