Graduated in 2009 in Disciplines of Arts and Cinema, Trerotoli currently collaborates with many art galleries around the world. His first exhibition was in 2010 in Rome, since then Alessio’s photos were shown in several galleries, festivals and art fairs, in Italy and abroad, as the prestigious Pritzker Forum on Global Cities in Chicago, where he displayed his most important project “Urban Melodies”.

ABOUT THE PHOTO I’ve always seen the rain not as “bad weather”, but as an amplifier of emotions. I like to take photos under the rain to create a sort of dreamlike reality. It’s not accidental that the girl in this image, that I called “Little Red Riding Hood”, seems to be profoundly alone. With this photo I tried to capture a melancholy never fully taking shape, but which is there, latent, in everyone life, evoking a sense of human isolation, a common feeling in large cities.
THE PRIZE for the WINNER is GR III Street Edition – Special Limited Kit.
