Alex Schuurbiers

Alex Schuurbiers is a photographer and filmmaker living and working in Antwerp, Belgium. She is also the founding member of Ursula. Her practice focuses on the texture of analogue film as an active contributor to her storytelling: embedded in the past like a memory and tangible in the present like emotion.


Alex’s work punctures its audience at an embryonic level, leaving the viewer with more questions than answers,opening the door to (self) exploration. Her filmography includes cine-essays En Vagues (2022) and Where I lay my head to rest (2023) and experimental documentary Song of Homecoming (2023).
