Enes Alba, born in 1997 in Istanbul, is a contemporary artist and photographer known for exploring themes of intimacy, gender, and queer identity in his work. He currently resides in Leipzig, Germany and is pursuing a master's degree in Public Art and New Artistic Strategies at Bauhaus University. Alba's artistic approach is both "sexy and political," utilizing a variety of mediums, including photography and video installations, to depict personal and social narratives.
His exhibitions often feature intimate content, such as his 2024 show "Young and Beautiful," which included video works that reflect on themes of identity, isolation, and queer experiences. Alba has also participated in notable international events like the Venice Biennale and Contemporary Istanbul
