Alberto Rossi is a multimedia artist based in Göteborg. His artistic practice observes the intersections between the biological and cultural realms, often inspired by the urban environment. He primarily works with digital images, analog collages, serial works, notes, and book-making. In 2022, he founded Take 10 Press, a collective and itinerant photo-zine library based in Göteborg. Alberto holds an MA in Photography from HDK-Valand and a BA in Multimedia Arts from IUAV University of Venice.
