Photographer Aleix Plademunt is a photo-book alchemist. Working with a host of very different images, he creates a picture that is whole and complete. In his photo book Matter, which was published by Spector Books in 2022 and has won multiple awards, he moves between microcosm and macrocosm, between the sun and tiny particles of matter. Now, in Campus, he focuses on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, not far from Basel. Vitra is a project with many different facets and layers: a Swiss furniture company, a campus with buildings by important contemporary architects, including Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, and Álvaro Siza, a museum-the Vitra Design Museum-furniture collections, design and architecture estates and archives, gardens, publications, and people. Aleix Plademunt's Campus combines all these motifs, supplemented by a number of historical photographs, to create an image of a place where you can sense the meaning and importance of design-as utopia and as everyday work.Aleix Plademunt (b. 1980 in Girona) studied technical engineering and received a degree in photography from UPC, Barcelona, in 2003. Since then, he has worked on myriad personal photographic projects and featured in over forty group shows and twenty individual exhibitions, highlights include Matter at MACBA Museum (Barcelona, 2021) and Almost There at the Le Bal (Paris, 2014).
