Alexa Hoyer is a New York City–based German visual artist whose practice centers on photography, informed by a background in sculpture. Her recent work involves the meticulous documentation of ad hoc systems and provisional structures, both within the built environment and in landscapes, resulting in visual archives that highlight the poetic and often overlooked dimensions of everyday space.
She has exhibited internationally at institutions including PS122 Gallery; Mana Contemporary, NJ; the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, TX; Les Rencontres de la Photographie, Arles, France; PHOTO IS:RAEL; the Inside Out Art Museum, Beijing; and the Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia, PA.
Most recently, Hoyer has been awarded artist residencies at Fondazione MACC and LMCC, as well as grants from NYFA’s Queens Arts Fund and Flushing Town Hall. Her photographic work has been featured in Hyperallergic, Vice, Urban Omnibus, DOMUS, and Harper’s Magazine. She is currently working on a monograph with Fondazione MACC, to be published in June 2025. In 2022, her project Wegweiser was published by Kenektid in Seoul, Korea.
Hoyer holds a BFA from Webster University in St. Louis, MO, and an MFA from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA.
