    My name is Alex Novo, I’m a photographer.

    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    "In a Mood for Love" is a photographic project that explores the complex and multifaceted nature of queer intimacy in the context of common experiences of love. Through a combination of figurative portraits and still life compositions created with a ritualistic approach, Xiangyu offers a poetic auto-fictional narrative into the psychological mechanisms of romantic relationships. By immersing himself in the re-experience and re-enactment of the mood swings and behavioral patterns of a relationship, the artist invites viewers to connect with their own common experiences of love and pain.
