Alessandro Mercuri

After studying philosophy in France, he graduated from CalArts,[1] with a MFA in Live Action.

In 2001 he made Alien American, a documentary film about a woman who claimed to be coming from another planet.

Selected at the Rotterdam International Film Festival and screened at the Gallery 825 of the Los Angeles Art Association, the film is “neither a fake documentary nor a real fiction that refuses the hierarchy of fact over fiction and, more usefully, shows that this phantasmagoria constitutes American ideology » according to the American critic Holly Willis.

In 2011, with Haijun Park, he founded ParisLike, an online bi-lingual creative arts magazine, devoted to the artistic, literary and scientific avant-gardes.

Among others: documentaries, interviews and recordings of performances with Bruno Latour, Luc Moullet, Philippe Sollers, Bertrand Hell, Yehezkel Ben-Ari, Luc Ferrari, Michel Maurer, eRikm, Pascal Perrineau, Serge Lehman, Jean Levi, Camille Paglia, Anita Molinero.
