Alex Fakso: Crossing

Alex Fakso has established himself as a street photographer and today is internationally known, both for commissioned work and also his solo exhibition, thanks to his untiring ability to experiment and always be a step ahead.
Crossing, an exhibition designed for Fotografia Europea, presented the evolution of the Alex Fakso's work. Never before published - the photographs are aggressively blended with collage, paint, and paper and transform into conceptual artworks. What results is a reflection on how modern and ancient can be merged and enhance each other even when this fusion is traumatic, forced and apparently chaotic.

Alex Fakso is an established street photographer with his lens on the underground. His works have been published in many magazines including Rolling Stone (Italy); Vice (Italy); Xplicit Grafx (France); Hype Beast Magazine (Hong Kong) and Corriere della Sera (Italy) and his photos have been used by 55DSL and Adidas for a line of clothes and limited edition shoes respectively.
