  • Special thanks to My Fucking Studio.

 In the Immortally Snatched project, the art director's process began with a collaborative approach, starting from the brief, which aimed to define a conceptual statement. From this starting point, we developed the idea of Immortally Snatched, creating a narrative photo series that tells the story of a person’s liberation from all preconceptions. The central theme of the narrative is the rejection of social and personal masks, favoring authenticity and individual expression.
X+ Loop
Barcelona Experimental Ultra Short Movie
    Art Direction / Camera Operator / Sound Design
    Art Direction: Alessandro D'Amico, Joshua Glunz, Guillermo Lubiano, Arushi Nyar
  • Camera Operator: Alessandro D'Amico, Joshua Glunz
  • Sound Design: Alessandro D'Amico

X+ Loop is a story that use the journey of a simple, everyday object, as a metaphor for human experience of dreaming, facing the unexpected and ultimately finding new meanings in the twists and spins of life. It encourages the viewer to see something in all the thing that don't unfold as initially expected.
The spinning motion of the camera in the film visually represents the cyclical nature of life’s journey. Just as the screw dreams of being firmly set in the wall but ends up falling out, the spinning camera symbolizes the disorientation and continuous movement we often feel when plans do not go as we had intended.

  • Graphic Design: Alessandro D'Amico, Lorena Ceresoli, Anna Belkina
  • Photography: Alessandro D'Amico

Instinkt is an editorial project exploring the theme of instinct through analog photography captured in Iceland.

Divided into seven chapters, the magazine challenges conventional language by shaping its titles based on sound rather than grammar—transforming Thrown Being into Frown Biing. 
My team and I developed the entire graphic design and curated the photographic project Thrown Being, inspired by Heidegger’s philosophical concept of being "thrown" into existence, emphasizing the lack of choice in one's birthplace.

The magazine’s unique lettering was crafted from a photograph of an icy surface, reinforcing its raw and instinctual aesthetic.

At MSF Magazine, we developed creative content to promote sustainable fashion.

Our work ranged from video editing to showcase sustainable brands to designing a comic-style advertising campaign for the Xmas holiday season.  
The campaign aimed to raise awareness about the urgency of switching to sustainable fashion, aligning with the magazine’s motto: Move Fast to Slow Fashion.

Through engaging visuals and storytelling, we highlighted ethical brands and encouraged consumers to rethink their shopping habits.

  • Music Video
  • Art Direction / Graphic Design / Video Editing
  • Art Direction: Alessandro D'Amico, Seveso Casino Palace
  • Graphic Design: Alessandro D'Amico
  • Video Editing  & Color Grading: Alessandro D'Amico

Cacciaguai is the title of the new song by Seveso Casino Palace, an italian Alternative Rock band, released on the March 8th 2024.

Distribuited by La Cremè Records in Italy, Cacciaguai is a song that explores themes of anxiety, individual freedom, and social perception through intense lyrics and rock music influenced by hip hop and electronic genres. 
The song invites listeners to reflect on their own identity and their relationships with others.
In particular, it seeks to "embrace" and reassure that one does not necessarily need to fit into specific standards or aesthetic and character stereotypes related to gender. It encourages rebellion and breaking free from the pre-established societal mold.
MĀRID
Barcelona, Iceland, Il Cairo
  • Music Video
  • Video Editing / Touch Design / Art Direction
  • Art Direction: Alessandro D’Amico, Les Shapeshifters
  • Video Editing & Color Grading: Alessandro D'Amico

Distribuited by Kahuna worldwide, this magnetising track was produced by electroneya and MARTINA. The term "MĀRID" in Arabic refers to a rebellious or disobedient jinn in Islamic mythology and folklore.

Inspired by disobedience, this sonic journey produced by the artist takes the listeners through 5 rebellious acts.
This project has been born thanks to Les Shapeshifters, a Barcelona based collective that see in grounding, multiplicity, and symbiosis a way to envision a future where creativity makes and unmakes itself through rhizomatic and entangled relashionships.
By fostering cross-industry collaborations, Les Shapeshifters aims to catalize social change and cultivate innovative solutions.

Col•lisiò
Sala Apolo, Barcelona
  • Event
  • Event Curation
  • Curator: Alessandro D’Amico, Zeynep G. Kurt, Laila S. Rodriguez

Col·lisió is a project hatched by the second generation students of Elisava’s Master in Art Direction and New Narratives.

An event whose concept was triggered by an overwhelming shared experience of landing in Barcelona as outsiders and threading a community.
Col·lisió embodies the clash of diversity and the power of communities through metaphorical acts that mirror a collision and its aftermath sensations in a club.
As curators, we successfully created an event where performing arts and music come together, featuring the first-ever indoor artistic performance at Sala Apolo, where dancer Mabel performed alongside drones.

Barcelona AI Short Movie
    Prompting / Video Editing / Sound Design

  • Video Editing  & Sound Design: Alessandro D'Amico

Since the project's inception, AI has been seamlessly integrated, participating in an array of brainstorming sessions alongside Chat GPT for the creation of the concept based on “memory trading” a speculative practice where individuals exchange or sell personal memories as commodities.
This conceptual framework prompts contemplation on ethical, societal, and existential implications, transforming intangible aspects of human experience int tradable assets.
On the other hand, visuals have been meticulously crafted in collaboration with Midjourney and Photoshop Beta’s tools, while animation has been executed frame by frame with precision using Runway.

The movie was send to Runway AI Film Festival 2024.
