Isabelle Cornaro born in 1974 and based in Paris and Geneva holds degrees in art history and
visual arts. She has a strong interest in experimental cinema and devotes herself to the
narrative symbolic or economic origins of things. In her work she almost assumes an
anthropologist's manner to investigate people's seemingly fixated attachment to often
emotionally charged even fetishized objects creating large stage installations or short
movies. On Words is a collection of interviews with leading contemporary women artists. In
conversation with Julie Enckell Julliard Federica Martini and Sarah Burkhalter they speak
about the sources from which they draw inspiration themes in their work and their view of the
world. The series brings together a wide range of viewpoints and adds a new narrative to
polyphonic art history as told by those who actively shape it.
