Isadora
Harriet Hedden
Synopsis
ISADORA is an exploration of time and place. The film started from an accidental discovery of found film footage, suggesting to be the only film existing of a performance of Isadora Duncan. The place is presented impossibly as the Parthenon. As in the original found film footage there is a blurring of realities. In the film the narrator’s voice changes gender as a chorus using words from the diary of Isadora Duncan: her memory describes an experience of what Freud later calls Derealisation, recalled during his own transcendent experience visiting the Parthenon. Transfixed by the power of the image and the disconnect from reality, her words fragile from the time of the grand tour where the European took places as their own.
