Alessia Bernardini is an Italian visual artist based in Milan.
After humanistic degree she began exploring photography with which she then worked in artistic, social and commercial fields. Through her art practice, Alessia explores the nature and possibilities of documentary image-making, mixed to a more complex narrative revolving above all around the processes of book making and printing.
She tries to “decode the whispers” that comes from things, people or non-human lives (such as woods, rocks or rivers). Her main challenge and focus is that of paying attention to the ordinary and to ordinary stories (if they exist), and within it find teachings and inspiration…
Alessia’s work has been exhibited and published internationally. Her work is part of private and public collections.
She is represented by studiofaganel gallery in Gorizia.
She is co-founder with Francesca Marconi of “Tutamondo”, a collective engaged in community art projects since 2009.
