Alle Dicu (b.1995, Alba Iulia) is a Romanian filmmaker and visual artist whose work delves into the relationship between people and the material world. Her films often examine the ways in which humans interact with and assign meaning to objects and surfaces. Over the past decade, Alle Dicu has cultivated a multidisciplinary practice centered on decorative stones, particularly marble, as a lens for exploring broader cultural, philosophical, and political ideas. In 2021, she completed her thesis, Visions of a Surface: Marble as a Sensitive Surface and its Visuality, at the Center of Excellence in Image Studies (CESI) in Bucharest. The research investigates how marble, as a decorative material, is imbued with social values and shapes political and religious discourses within architecture. During her residency at Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains (2022-2024), Dicu directed two short films that use marble to probe the fluidity of mental and physical images in contemporary life.
