Rossella Biscotti
Rossella Biscotti est née en 1978 à Molfetta, Italie
Elle vit et travaille entre Bruxelles et Rotterdam
Biscotti utilise le montage comme un geste pour révéler les récits individuels et leur relation à la société tout en révélant simultanément les supports qui créent ces récits. Dans sa pratique cross-média, à la croisée du cinéma, de la performance et de la sculpture, elle explore et reconstruit les moments politiques et sociales de ces derniers temps à travers les expériences subjectives d’individus souvent posés sur fond de systèmes institutionnalisés violents En intégrant son expérience personnelle et récits oraux dans le récit de nouvelles histoires, elle entreprend la construction d’un récit officieux de l’histoire qui vit en marge du discours officiel.
Utilisant souvent un site d’investigation comme point de départ, des témoignages différents voire contradictoires sont judicieusement tissés ensemble dans de nouveaux récits visuels. En examinant la pertinence de la matériau récupéré dans une perspective contemporaine, Biscotti crée des liens et des réseaux avec le présent, renforçant l’imagination, la culture et l’expérience des spectateurs.
Rossella Biscotti est diplômée de l’Accademia di Belle Arti in Naples en 2002 et de la Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten à Amsterdam en 2010-2011.
