This commented visit to Rossella Biscotti‘s exhibition Cable City Dance Cable City Sea
will be the opportunity to discover other perspectives of the works and the history they tell, thanks to the explanations of Joana Hurtado, the curator of the exhibition.
For the exhibition at Fabra i Coats, Biscotti presents two large installations occupying two floors of the Art Centre: The City, a multi-screen projection of a Neolithic city, and The Journey, a sound piece set around the Mediterranean, accompanied by two respective sculptural works, Trees on Land and Drifting, which take us to an olive tree cemetery and to the currents of the sea. Between the two floors, another work connects them physically and conceptually from within the building’s infrastructure: A Conductor, a recycled cable from a decommissioned nuclear power station, is connected to the Art Centre’s electrical supply and provides power for the entire exhibition.
Living in the world implies making it, creating it. What seems to us like an excavated desert and the vastness of the sea, Rossella Biscotti tells us, is also a constructed landscape that structures our experience and vision of the world. The lack of an absolute image or perspective that can unify the multiplicity of views and voices of these two spaces not only serves to reflect on the articulation of societies, present or past, but also allows for new perceptions of our relationship with the environment. And if our interaction creates our conception of the world, it can also change it.
