Alessandro Vasapolli (b. 1988, Turin) is an artist whose practice explores the limits of perception and the boundaries of knowledge through experimental uses of photography and custom-built imaging devices. His research operates at the intersection of art, philosophy, and science, and focuses on how the world we see is shaped—often distorted—by our biological and cognitive constraints.

After completing an international academic path in economics and management—earning a Master in Management from ESCP Business School (Paris), an MSc from City University (London), and a Laurea Magistrale cum laude in Business Administration from the University of Turin—Vasapolli lived abroad for nearly a decade between London and Paris before returning to Italy in 2018, where he currently lives. Throughout those years, he developed a parallel artistic investigation that gradually took center stage, leading to the formulation of a highly personal and technically rigorous visual language.

His work has been exhibited both in institutional and private venues across Italy and abroad. Notable solo shows include La Soglia del Vero (OttoFinestre, Turin, 2025, as part of EXPOSED Torino Foto Festival), Dance Notes (Biffi Arte, Piacenza, 2023; A. Galerie, Paris, 2022), DéVoilées (Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin, 2018; A. Galerie, Paris, 2019; Biffi Arte, Piacenza, 2019), and Effemeridi (Palazzo Crivelli, Milan, 2018). Group exhibitions include Sintesi a Colori (Fondazione Garuzzo, Saluzzo, 2025), Fuoco Fuori Fuoco (OttoFinestre, Turin, 2023), and Flash for Fantasy (A. Galerie, Paris, 2018). Fair participations include The Phair (Turin | 2023–2024), MIA Photo Fair (Milan | 2018, 2019, 2021), Art Paris (Paris | 2018), and WopArt (Lugano | 2018).

As part of his current project in development, Vasapolli carried out a period of research at the Centre for Cosmology and Particle Physics, Department of Physics, New York University (2024), where he designed an experimental photographic device capable of visually transposing relativistic phenomena that lie beyond the reach of direct human perception.

He has presented his work in conferences and public talks at institutions and festivals such as Arduino Days (international), La Casa della Cultura (Milan), Ottofinestre (Turin), Biblioteca delle Oblate (Florence), La Kasa dei Libri (Milan), Biblioteca Sormani (Milan), Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Turin), and other major cultural centers.

His two monographs, DéVoilées (2018) and Dance Notes (2022), were both published by Anemos Publishing House. These publications document the conceptual and visual development of his major bodies of work, offering an in-depth look at the evolution of his artistic research over the years.

Vasapolli’s work has been featured in prominent national and international publications including Artribune, Exibart, La Stampa, Libertà, Juliet Art Magazine, ANSA, Corriere della Sera, La Repubblica, Icon, L’Œil de la Photographie, and Elle France, among others.
