Biography
Alexis Orosa is a photographer and filmmaker whose work pushes the boundaries of visual storytelling through a unique fusion of analog and digital mediums.
His photographic practice combines 35mm film photography with digital imagery, often distressed by ripping, burning, and layering techniques. The result is a visceral body of work that mirrors the fragility and chaos of human emotion, embodying themes of sex, death, betrayal, and trauma. He explores the unspoken intersections of love, loss, and identity, drawing viewers into a world that is at once deeply personal and universally resonant.
A graduate of the National Institute of Dramatic Art, with a Masters in Fine Art, he is the winner of Screen Producer Australia's Pitch on Demand 2021 and has previously directed the winner of the Goethe-Institut Artist Residency, 'Poetic Suicide’ (2021) written by Mahsa Faroughi, and the short films ‘Embers' (2023) and 'Katharsis (κάθαρσις των παθήματων)’ (2024).
His first solo exhibition, ‘I Have Only Known Grandeur in Ruins’ opened in 2024 at Puzzle Gallery in Sydney and his first group exhibition, ‘I, Me, My, Seeing One’s Queer Self’ opened in January 2025 at XYZ Photo Gallery in Melbourne as part of Midsumma Festival. His work has been published in BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Vol. 9 released in 2025.
