Alessandro also currently works on his personal projects tower the release of his first book and his exhibition. With this collection, he creates rather than takes images by mixing real people and locations.
He carefully arranges his scenes using detailed lighting and framing and includes both cinematic documentary and staged photography; his series of theatrical large scale colour prints are carefully constructed, straddling reality and fiction, leaving the spectators wondering what is truly happening within the scenes; his photographs indicate rather than elucidates a complete story.
Alessandro’s artworks are influenced by popular culture, history, film, television, literature, and his childhood memories and personal experiences.
