Alessandro Belgiojoso was born in 1963, in Milan. He lives and works in Italy and abroad. In 2005 he held the exhibition Mental Landscapes at the Studio Visconti Gallery, in Milan.
Since 2006 his work has focused on the concept of boundary and the urge to overstep its limits, exploring socio-cultural comparisons and the ongoing dialogue between different cultures and geo-political meanings. In 2007 at Forma Foto, Milan, he exhibited a body of work taken in North and South Korea, and presented his book ‘Korea, An Impossible Journey’? Thanks to the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this project managed to cross the otherwise impenetrable border between the two Koreas, and involved exhibitions and presentations of the book in Pyongyang (North Korea), Seoul, Incheon and Daegu (South Korea) in the North Korean Embassy in Rome in 2008 and today in the South Koran Consulate in Milan. The project was key to the Korean Pavillion, winner of the Golden Lion at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale. This long term project is still in progress.
