In 2015, Grasso was solicited by the French National Archives to create a film on the aesthetics of power and its agents.

[10] It has also been featured in multiple publications including ‘Architecture Now’ (Taschen). [11]

Tending on the epistemological, Grasso works across different disciplines from film and installation to painting and neon. [12] Major public installations include ‘Nomiya’ (2009–2011), a transportable restaurant sat on the roof of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris; [13] ‘Anechoic Pavilion’ (2012), an installation presented by Edouard Malingue Gallery atop Central Ferry Pier 4 in Hong Kong.
