Rossella Biscotti’s artistic oeuvre encompasses videos, photographs and occasionally sculptures. They often illuminate the history and stories about people who become a source of re ection on individual or collective identity and memory. In Biscotti’s 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 in a subtle interplay between concealed or multiple identities, action and reality, and overlapping layers of time.
