Alessia Rollo is a visual artist born in 1982 in South Italy where she lives and works.
After earning her undergraduate degree in visual communication at the University of Perugia (Italy), she completed a master’s in creative photography at the EFTI (Spain) in 2009.
For Rollo, rather than explaining or documenting a situation, photography is a medium that permits myriad metaphors. In her project she always questions photography as tools of representation and deliberately mix a documentary approach with a factionary one.
Her projects are focused on Mediterranean area to question which are relevant topics in the main streaming storytelling, found contemporary and past social and visual stereotypes and offer new point of view on this area. Her projects are often oriented to expand a sense of community through re-appropriation of histories, memories and visual material.
Her projects have been displayed in many international exhibitions in solo and group shows.
