Alessia Lupo Cecchet

Alessia Lupo Cecchet is an interdisciplinary artist who works at the intersection of studio and media arts. Grounding her work in object-making, video, and history, she explores matters of decay, abjection, empathy, human exceptionalism, and temporality. Through an engagement with the nonhuman body as an access point for inquiry, she interrogates matters of knowledge-making and power. Alessia Lupo grew up in the Dolomite Mountains of Northern Italy and is now based in Los Angeles, CA. She holds a Ph.D. in Film and Digital Media from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and an MFA from Syracuse University. Her work has been exhibited internationally in art galleries and film festivals, and in 2023 Alessia Lupo was awarded the Arts/Industry (JMKAC) residency at the Kohler Co. Foundry (Wisconsin).
