ARTIST BIO

Alessia Cecchet is a maker of moving images, interdisciplinary artist, and writer who grew up in the Dolomite Mountains of Northern Italy and is now based in Los Angeles, CA. Her practice is situated at the intersection of studio and media arts; Alessia constructs sculptural objects that she then activates through animation, film, and video. Grounded in historical and archival research, her work is invested in human and non-human histories of displacement, loss, and suffering.

In 2023 Alessia was awarded a residency at the John Michael Kohler Art Center in Kohler, WI. Her work has been exhibited internationally at several film festivals and art venues, including Uppsala Short Film Festival (Uppsala, Sweden), Slamdance Film Festival (Park City, UT), Nashville Film Festival (Nashville, TN), Encounters Film Festival (Bristol, UK), Seattle Film Festival (Seattle, WA), Cork Film Festival (Cork, Ireland), Athens International Film and Video Festival (Athens, OH), Columbus Film and Animation Festival (Columbus, OH), and Torino Film Festival (Torino, Italy), among others.
