Rossella Biscotti usa el montaje como un gesto para revelar narrativas individuales y su relación con la sociedad. En su práctica interdisciplinar, que atraviesa la producción cinematográfica, la performance y la escultura, explora y reconstruye los momentos sociales y políticos de la historia reciente a través de la subjetividad y las experiencias de individuos usualmente relegados al fondo del sistema institucional. En el proceso de componer sus encuentros personales y entrevistas en nuevas historias, el proceso de investigación tiende a dejar su marca en sus esculturas e instalaciones. Rastros de la vida de las personas, objetos e ideas son cuidadosamente tejidas en nuevas narrativas visuales. Al examinar la relevancia del material recuperado desde una perspectiva contemporánea, Biscotti crea vínculos y redes con el presente, empoderando la imaginación, cultura y experiencia del espectador.
Rossella Biscotti se graduó de la Accademia di Belle Arti en Nápoles en 2002 y asistió a la Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten en Ámsterdam entre 2010-2011.
