Bruna Rotunno is an established Italian photographer, video maker, and digital artist, based between Milan and Paris. Known in the digital art scene as Sider_Alia, she explores the expressive potential of image-making across traditional and new media, creating visual narratives that merge aesthetic elegance with emotional and conceptual depth.
Her practice moves fluidly between photography, video art, and digital experimentation, often focusing on themes such as identity, spirituality, the feminine, and the relationship between humans and landscape. Starting from a strong photographic foundation, she constructs bodies of work that engage with contemporary discourse through a poetic and critical lens.
In parallel with her artistic production, Bruna has embraced curatorial roles, collaborating with institutions like Art and Vault. She has published six books with publishers including Skira and Silvana Editoriale, and her works have been exhibited in museums, galleries, embassies, and international festivals across Europe, Asia, and North America.
