Alfredo Aceto (born 1991) is a visual artist based in Switzerland. Aceto was born in Turin , Italy . He studied fine arts at ECAL. His practice is defined by constant narration and humor. Alfredo Aceto works on the paradox of immortality and its impossibility. His work has been shown at institutions and galleries such as Museo del Novecento , Blancpain Art Contemporain and Centre d'Art Contemporain Geneva
Aceto first gained international recognition with his obsessional relationship with French artist Sophie Calle. Aceto convinced Calle to make her signature tattooed on his arm (2009). By asking for a permanent artistic gesture Aceto becomes part of Sophie Calle’s work.
