Rossella Biscotti - The Journey
The project re-imagines the Mediterranean region through sonic archives, which include sounds, songs, and voices from local musicians, fishermen, and activists.
The Journey is a sonic reading by acclaimed artist Rossella Biscotti in which she shares different footage, sounds, and reflections from her long-term project The Journey (2024). The project re-imagines the Mediterranean region through sonic archives, which include sounds, songs, and voices from local musicians, fishermen, and activists. The work deepens her exploration of historical, ecological, and geopolitical intersections in the Mediterranean, such as the movement of sea turtles and oil concessions. The project integrates aural documentation—interweaving the hum of engines, sea churn, seafarers' songs, and the echoes of marine life—to augment the sensory experience of the journey of a 20-ton marble stone from its extraction to its sinking in the sea rather than just documenting it.

Rossella Biscotti
Rossella Biscotti's work deals with the exploration of forgotten or untraced events that reveal changing value systems. She is interested in manifesting a subject's constitution through its alliances and resistances against violent institutionalized structures - sensibly weaving together traces of lives, concepts and materials into new narratives. By gathering information through the recording of oral stories, as from archival research and fieldwork, her work is often a montage of various materials and formats, compositions of sculptures, video, performance and sound. Places, which have been tapped historically by forms of mining, exploitation, and confinement, are often the backdrop of her artistic explorations. By questioning the relevance of the information used from a contemporary perspective, she is interested in increasing links and networks to the present, empowering imagination and experience.
