IANCURA
Alessio Pellicoro
“Iancura” is a dialect word of the culture of the Aeolian Islands and which means “whiteness”. It indicates that natural state in which the calm sea seems to merge with the sky, transforming the horizon into a shade of blue. In this case it represents a state of mind of grace, calm and serenity.
Alessio Pellicoro
Born in Taranto (Itay) in 1994 and his approach to photography came unexpectedly in 2016 with the discovery of some disused cameras belonging to his father. This prompted him the following year to deepen his knowledge by beginning a three-year degree program in Photography and Visual Arts at IED (Istituto Europeo di Design) Rome, graduating with honors in 2019. In 2023 he completed his studies by earning a master’s degree at lSIA (Istituti Superiori per le Industrie Artistiche) in Urbino in Photography for publishing and cultural heritage.
His work has been published in several magazines such as Phroom mag, Photocaptionist, Conceptual Project, Life Framer, Ombra Magazine,Yogurt Magazine, C41 Mag, Urbanautica, Perimetro, Il Fotografo, GUP… also finding space within various group and solo exhibitions in Italy but also all over the world between Thailand, Canada, England and Germany. In 2020 he published “Abisso,” his first photobook with DITO Publishing.
