Rossella Biscotti
Rossella Biscotti nació en 1978 en Molfetta, Italia
Vive y trabaja entre Bruselas y Rotterdam
Biscotti utiliza el montaje como un gesto para revelar narrativas individuales y su relación con la sociedad mientras simultáneamente revela los soportes que crean estas narrativas. En su práctica de medios cruzados, pasando por el cine, el performance y la escultura, ella explora y reconstruye la vida social y momentos políticos de los últimos tiempos a través de las experiencias subjetivas de los individuos a menudo planteados en contra del contexto de sistemas violentos institucionalizados. Al integrar su experiencia personal y narraciones orales en el relato de nuevas historias, Biscotti emprende la construcción de un relato no oficial de la historia que vive al margen del discurso oficial.
A menudo utilizando un sitio de investigación como punto de partida, relatos diferentes se entretejen con sensatez en narrativas visuales novedosas. Al examinar la pertinencia del material recuperado desde una perspectiva contemporánea, Biscotti crea vínculos y redes con el presente, potenciando la imaginación, la cultura y la experiencia de los espectadores.
