Isabelle Cornaro
Isabelle Cornaro was born in France in 1974. She attained degrees in Art History at the École du Louvre, Paris and in Visual Arts at the Fines Arts School of Paris. Her work is transdisciplinary (installations, sculptures and films) and includes the use of cultural objects and images (transposition of classical paintings, casts of kitsch domestic objects), sometimes relating to historical or political contexts. Often Cornaro’s work plays with issues such as systems of representation, commodity fetishism and the creative gesture.
