About the Item
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is one of a set of four digital prints whose titles were inspired by the iconic film The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland. The other three are titled: Kansas, The Yellow Brick Road and The Land of Oz. Signed on lower front.
The Wizard of Oz film has become a cult classic and its underlying complicated emotional longings for family and home have fed themes in numerous movies from those directed and produced by David Lynch in Wild at Heart and Mulholland Drive to Twin Peaks. Links also include Back to the Future directed by Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg's E. T. Extra-terrestrial. Both the main characters are transported to environments unknown to them that is initially interesting and both overcome all odds to return to Home - the main theme in The Wizard of Oz.
Each of the four photos is framed by an open window with shutters. The artist, Isabelle Carbonell, is a Belgian-Uruguayan-American award-winning documentary filmmaker, a PhD Candidate at the University of California, Santa Cruz and a film Professor at the American University of Paris thinking through a cinema of the Anthropocene. Her interests lie with environmental studies.
One can interpret these prints as framing landscapes of the incredibly beautiful earth which we currently enjoy, but in the future with climate change and disasters these views may be as phantasmagorical as the characters and unearthly fantasy of the Land of Oz. Anthropocene relates the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment.
Her work has been described as lying at the intersection of expanded documentary, environmental justice, invasive species, eco-disasters, multispecies ethnography, and “the possibility of life in capitalist ruins”. Her scholarship has been published in the Internet Policy Review, Conexión Journal, and the Cultural Anthropology Journal.
Isabelle Carbonell has the following description of herself and her work on her website: Her research and practice lie at the intersection of expanded documentary, environmental justice, and the Anthropocene, while striving to develop new visual and sonic approaches and methods to rethink documentary filmmaking and create a multispecies cinema. Imbued in all her work is the connection between the slow violence of environmental disaster, climate change, bodies of water, more-than-humans, and the future. Isabelle’s award-winning films and installation works have been presented in museums, film festivals, and art galleries internationally. She has received support via a Mellon dissertation fellowship, the Princess Grace Foundation, HKW/Max Planck Institute research grant, Berkeley Human Rights fellowship, and Georgetown Environmental Initiative grant among others.
Isabelle produces film, productions and digital media such as the Set of Four largescale prints loosely incorporating landscapes with titles that conger up the film, The Wizard of Oz.
She received a B.A. R.C. in Social Science and a B.A. in Environmental Science from the University of Michigan and a M.A. from the University of California, Santa Cruz where she is currently a PhD Candidate.

- Joyce T. Nagel Lithograph "Snowscape" Artist's Proof Winter Scene Signed DatedLocated in Detroit, MI"Snowscape" is a study in contrasts being both a landscape and an abstract study of black and white negative/positive shapes. It is very powerful in the stark scene created and because of the interesting placement of the black and white areas. Being an "Artist's Proof" means that it was the first print pulled before the artist approved the look of the print and initiated further printing. It is an accomplished piece of depth and intellectual complexity. It is a Lithograph. Lithography is a planographic printmaking process in which a design is drawn onto a flat stone (or prepared metal plate, usually zinc or aluminum) and affixed by means of a chemical reaction. Like an actual storm whose characteristics are unique this monoprint is a one-off print and unique. She has captured the heavy dark feel of storm clouds and the slashing rain that accompanies a storm. Nagel has the ability to infuse her work with the intricate characteristics found in nature.
