In this talk linked to the exhibition Cable City Dance Cable City Sea, Rossella Biscotti and Övül Durmusoglu will talk about the Italian artist’s creative process, her artistic research and the limits of collective memory. The conversation will be moderated by Anna Manubens, director of Hangar, and presented by Joana Hurtado, curator of the exhibition.
Rossella Biscotti’s work delves into the material and affective histories of the spaces we inhabit, unravelling systems of meaning and relational networks between the human and the non-human. Her practice, which interweaves film, sound, sculpture and performance, explores the functioning of ecosystems as open, shifting and polyphonic, as are collective imaginaries and the media by which they are conditioned, be they narrative or material. By bringing together art, archaeology, anthropology, environmental sciences, geopolitics and activism, she questions the uses and abuses of global power by revealing all that lives on the margins of official discourse.
