Bio
Kadessi Alassani is a London-based visual artist and photographer whose work explores identity, memory, and the emotional landscapes of the African diaspora. Through photography, film, and AI-assisted image-making, he creates cinematic portraits that blend documentary sensitivity with a refined visual language.
His practice is rooted in storytelling, examining themes of heritage, masculinity, and belonging, through portraiture, which constructs images that feel both intimate and monumental. Drawing on a sculptural approach to light, texture, and composition, Alassani’s work seeks to offer nuanced representations of contemporary African and diasporic identities.
His work has been featured in Dazed
