Isabelle Jenniches, “readers in the subway”.

“readers in the subway” is an audio-video collage of ambient noise and still images of passengers reading within the New York subway system. Seemingly oblivious to the noise and the ads, cramped, wearing thick layers of clothing, they each escape into their own thoughts, creating a bubble around themselves. A snapshot of what was on peoples’ minds during the NYC winter of 2003.

Isabelle Jenniches received her Master's degree in Scenography from the Academy of Applied Art in Vienna, Austria, and a postgraduate degree in Digital Media, Communication and the Arts from Media-GN, the Netherlands. Dedicated to a nomadic existence, a connection to the internet is her single most important constant. Recent bases have included Amsterdam, New York and California. Her work has been shown in the Grand Theatre Groningen, Theater de Balie, Melkweg and Waag Society, Amsterdam; at DEAF, Dutch Electronic Arts Festival and at V2 in Rotterdam; Location One and Harvestworks, New York; Versionfest Chicago and on the World Wide Web.
