Read MoreAlessandro Pugno is an Italian filmmaker, photographer and poet, very connected in his work with the Ibero-American world. He was born in Casale Monferrato in 1983 and he is currently living between Spain and Italy. He graduated in aesthetics and theoretical philosophy at the University of Turin and Bologna with a thesis on Heidegger and the presocratics.
His works, shorts and experimental documentaries, have been premiered at major international film festivals winning different awards. After an important festivals tour in several continents, his debut feature film, “Human | Animal” (2023) is being distributed in theaters in Italy, Spain and Mexico.
He edited two books of poems “Fili d’oro tra le ortiche” (2006 Edizioni il Filo) and “Peregrino d’Amore” (2023) awarded in Italy in different prizes.
With his photographies he has been selected two times in the Discovery section of PhotoEspaña, where he will show his work “The summer is gone” this year in the collective exhibit “Transit”.
The main topics of his work are time, death and human identity. He always tries to use landscape as a mirror of our psyche and conceives art as a tool to raise deep questions involving the heart, the eyes and the mind the viewer.
