Alastair Philip Wiper

British photographer Alastair Philip Wiper (Hamburg, 1980) has received international recognition for his industrial, scientific and architectural work. Alastair’s signature is defined by a unique understanding of lines and symmetry, colour and contrast, often combined with dark humour. Alastair looks to the machines, technology and infrastructure surrounding us to explore the needs and desires of humans, their dreams and their questions about the universe. As well as working commercially for brands such as Google and Nikon, his work is regularly featured in publications such as Wired, Vice, Scientific American and The Guardian. His prints are included in the collections of institutions such as the Design Museum in London, the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and Bank Vontobel in Zurich. He has produced several books, including Building Stories (Danish Architectural Press, 2023), Unintended Beauty (Hatje Cantz, 2020) and The Art of Impossible (Thames & Hudson, 2015). Alastair has had solo exhibitions at institutions such as The Royal Institute of British Architects, London and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs et du Design (MADD), Bordeaux, France.
