Early Life and Education

Alessandro Dotti, born on September 2, 1973, in Milan, Italy, is an Italian artist known for his innovative contributions to visual arts and digital media. He is the son of Mario Dotti, a renowned paparazzo of the Roman Dolce Vita era who significantly influenced the cultural landscape of the 1960s. Introduced to photography by his father, Dotti took his first photograph at the age of ten. He attended the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera (Brera Academy of Fine Arts) in Milan, where he developed his artistic skills and vision.

Career

1980s: Beginnings in Photography

Dotti began his career as a set photographer for early Italian commercial television, collaborating with press offices and capturing images of prominent entertainment figures such as Sandra Mondaini, Raimondo Vianello, Mike Bongiorno, Massimo Boldi, Lino Banfi, Amanda Lear, Anna Carlucci, Paolo Bonolis, and Gerry Scotti. He also photographed international stars like Alain Delon.

1990s: International Expansion

In the 1990s, Dotti expanded his career to the United States, working between Miami and New York City. He contributed to fashion magazines and photographed Italian actors including Claudia Gerini, Valeria Solarino, Giorgio Panariello, Massimo Ghini, and Andrea Roncato. He worked with international personalities like Steven Seagal and Mickey Rourke, directing a one-hour television special on Rourke's life in Miami.

Simultaneously, Dotti served as a stage photographer for Vittorio Salvetti's Festivalbar for five years, covering music events across Italy. He photographed artists such as Simply Red, Loredana Bertè, Eros Ramazzotti, Jovanotti, and Linus.

2000s: Fashion and Editorial Work

Throughout the early 2000s, Dotti collaborated with major publications and brands:

  • ZYNK Magazine (2004): Managed photographic services.
  • IO Donna and Anna (2003–2006): Provided editorial photography for Rizzoli International Publications.
  • Grazia and Donna Moderna (2006–2012): Worked as a photographer for Arnoldo Mondadori Editore.

He photographed actresses like Hilary Swank, Michelle Rodriguez, Mischa Barton, Cristiana Capotondi, Belén Rodríguez, Carolina Crescentini, Claudia Gerini, and Valeria Solarino.

From 2015 to 2018, Dotti collaborated with Giorgio Armani, creating advertising content for Armani Collezioni and Armani Jeans. He introduced innovative concepts such as video lookbooks, blending traditional photography with motion graphics.

2010s: Artistic Movements and Exhibitions

In June 2019, Dotti co-founded the TAT Movement with Massimo Crespi. Presented at the Atelier Crespi exhibition space, the movement aims to provide visibility to emerging artists, particularly from the Brera Academy. The TAT Movement (from the German word "Tat," meaning "deed" or "act") explores the expressive potential of painting and figuration, revisiting early 20th-century avant-garde art in the context of modern themes like identity in the era of selfies.[1][2]

Notable exhibitions during this period include:

  • Mea Culpa (Milan, 2018): Curated by Jacqueline Ceresoli.[3][4]
  • Zero (Milan, 2011): Curated by Jacqueline Ceresoli.[5]
  • Surrealistic Pixel (Milan, 2011): Supported by Maurice Dotta and curated by Jacqueline Ceresoli.[5]
  • Beyond the Limit (Milan, 2009).[6]
  • Steps of Light (Milan, 2010; Palazzo Marino, Milan, 2012).[7]

In 2015, Dotti was honored at the Gli Immortali exhibition and award ceremony hosted by the Rotary Club of Dubai.[8]

2020s: Digital Innovation

In May 2020, Dotti launched Stopinteractive, debuting with "Issue 0" titled "At Home." This digital magazine exists exclusively on Instagram, adapting to the platform's feed format. The project merges fashion, new media, and technology developed by Dotti, reflecting the dynamics of contemporary digital culture.[9][10]

Artistic Style and Influence

Dotti is celebrated for his ability to interpret and shape contemporary aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from design, architecture, art, and cinema, he not only represents fashion but also defines it, giving it cultural resonance through his visionary approach. He is one of the first artists in Italy to utilize blockchain NFT certificates and artificial intelligence in creating new images.[9]
