Rossella Biscotti\u2019s artistic oeuvre encompasses videos, photographs and occasionally sculptures. Her works continue to develop over a long period of time; generally, their final media form is video. They often illuminate history and stories about people who were never in the public eye, but can become a source of reflection on individual or collective identity and memory, and their portrayal in Biscotti\u2019s works.<\/p>\n
In Biscotti\u2019s art, the starting point of a work is always a social or political event, possibly one in the distant past, which the artist encounters e.g. in the form of documentation or a newspaper snippet and subsequently investigates meticulously. Biscotti employs her works to transpose these found documents, as fragments of an individual history, into reflections about identity, our relation to reality, and the depiction of memory. The subtle interplay between concealed or multiple identities, fiction and reality, and the overlapping layers of time constitutes the characteristic attraction of Biscotti\u2019s videos and installations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-3867","kb_exhibition","type-kb_exhibition","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"article_image":4032,"article_image_bu_de":"","article_image_bu_en":"","datum_suche":"2013-07-09 13:51:06"},"yoast_head":"\n
