Rossella Biscotti, The Journey (From Cape Africa (Tunisia) till Misrata (Lybia), 2016
Born in 1978 in Italy, Rossella Biscotti currently lives and works in Amsterdam. Throughout her career, she has confronted both present and past history by creating works that explore the collective significance of sometimes dramatic, but always poignant events.
Her practice, combining video, installation, photography and sculpture, has delved deep into the history of her country, from Italy’s central role in ancient history, to the nation’s difficult past during the Years of Lead.
Biscotti’s work has been shown at major international exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale, Documenta and Manifesta. Her work is currently on show at MAXXI (Rome) as part of the two group exhibitions “artapes #1. Walking around the clock” and "Re-evolution: the place to be" as well as at "Snap. Documentary and portrait" at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Oslo.
