Alessandra Sormani

Bio

Alessandra Sormani is a multi-disciplinary artist who lives and works from her family homes in Clevedon, North Somerset and Bardi, Parma, Italy.

Her practice includes photography, video, performance, painting and sound installation. Although trained as a professional photographer, she often uses amateur digital media, making and distributing projects through mobile technology and social networks. Her work examines the way these technologies distort the boundaries between the private and public spheres and between real events and fiction.

Recent works combine painting with language centred on her experience over the past years. She considers belonging and the behaviour of humans in domestic, professional, and societal surroundings. Fostering connections with people and place, her work as an employee in systems and organisations – (hospitality, theological, educational and social care) contribute to her practice as an artist.

She was born in Bristol and studied at Central Saint Martin’s and Chelsea College of Art in London.
