"Rocco is an Italian graphic designer based in London, whose work interrogates social and political mechanisms with irony. He completed his BA in Graphic Design* at Politecnico di Milano.
Cinema aficionado – even though the format has been slightly shifted this past year** – the realm of movies is a reference for his work and reflection.*** Always playing with voices and characters, Rocco’s aesthetic is timeless****, and takes the audience to an uncertain journey in his cynical world."
