Marie-Alix Isdahl: The Opacifier
The Opacifier is a video installation with recent work produced as part of Marie-Alix Isdahl’s PhD project Chemical Wedding – The (Un)making Of White.
Marie-Alix Isdahl is a French-Norwegian writer and practice-based researcher. She is pursuing a PhD in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London, supported by a grant from the Henry Moore Foundation and others. Isdahl’s projects often depart from an interest in the image, and a consideration of the histories, material and cultural, that underpin images and their circulation. She is particularly interested in the tipping-over moment when pre-verbal materiality becomes an image – of perception in its forming. Using theory, text and moving images, her doctoral research investigates materiality, desire and the production of visibility (and opacity) within the extractive regime of titanium dioxide pigments.
Isdahl holds an MA in critical theory from Goldsmiths, was the co-founder of gallery SCHLOSS in Oslo and is part of Institute for Scene Experiments, which has hosted events at KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin (2022) and Camden Art Centre, London (2023). Recent projects include The Video Show – I can’t see a thing. I’ll open this one at K4, Oslo (2023), REVOLUTION IS A SICKNESS at Kunstnernes Hus/MOMENTUM Nordic Biennale, Norway (2023) and Postproduction at Studiengalerie 1.357, Frankfurt, Germany (2023). Between 2021 and 2023, she was an associate lecturer in critical studies at the Goldsmiths BFA programme.
