DECEMBER 2015:

- Isabelle and Noka Productions head upstate to shoot The Great White! This short film is the first of The Writers Trilogy, three short films conceived as companion pieces to songs by the band Late Sea. Isabelle plays the lead in this lyrical and visually stunning film. The Writers Trilogy is a 2015 recipient of the Kevin Spacey Foundation Artists of Choice grant.

From Late Sea's artist statement: “The Writers Trilogy is a hybrid of music, film and literature that will be released in the form of a short album and three short films.

The project is a series of audio-visual reflections on the legacy and literary work of 3 predominant 20th century writers who defined in their work what it means to be a man in the modern era: Paul Celan (1920-1970), Frantz Kafka (1883-1924), and Gabriel García Márquez (1927-2014).

The Writers Trilogy is also an exploration of the relations between the audio and the visual, and an attempt to bring together the hypnotic quality of film with the intensity of a live music concert.”

NOVEMBER 2015:

- Isabelle records voiceover for New York-based visual artist Jen Liu's new video installation The Pink Detachment. Isabelle contributes original material to the project by improvising on a theme Jen Liu gives her.

The artist’s statement, from Jen Liu’s website: “The Pink Detachment is a reinterpretation of The Red Detachment of Women (1970), a Model Opera ballet from China’s Cultural Revolution. In the original, a peasant girl joins an all-female military detachment, takes revenge on her despotic landlord, and produces Revolution. This ballet and its many variations was a ubiquitous propaganda piece in its day.

Can such a fraught archival document be re-motivated, beyond kitsch?

This piece proposes that re-motivation is possible, but only through major revision. First, the peasant girl is replaced with an accident-prone, inefficient meat worker. Second, the wise martial leader is replaced with a ballerina-manager that provides the solutions to the worker’s problems. She provides new tools – for meat and bone grinding – while resolving the inequities of wealth and resource distribution through the factory-produced hot dog. Military overthrow (Red) has been replaced by manufactured equivalence (Pink).

Within this revised framework, portions of the original music and choreography have been preserved. It has been re-engineered to fabricate continuity between the brutal fantasy of the past and the resource problems of the present. Parallel positions emerge from the color equation, Red + White = Pink. The first position is the old term “pinko” – a Communist (Red) who has assimilated Capitalist bourgeois models (White), to create a “watered-down” compromise (Pink). The second position is a speculative solution to China’s crises in meat supply, by valorizing the integration of “undesirable” pig parts with the “desirable” portions in the hot dog. And the third position proposes the pink of femininity not as a “natural” fleshy softness, but rather as a synthetic, potentially violent, hybridity.
