Isa✧Belle

Isa✧Belle develops her artistic approach through the well-being of the body – in its multiple dimensions – associated with personal and spiritual development. Isa✧Belle worked from 2002, as a model and stylist with fashion photographer Simone Simon. Moving between Brussels, Paris and Nice, she participated in various short films and performances.

Since 2005, she has worked in collaboration with Paradise Now (electronic treatments and sound design, texts and co-design) on several installation projects (“Ojaskar-the light of the body”, “Fly Wash”, “The sound shower” , “Le do dé ca être”, “Singing tree”, “A Luni Son”) appealing to all the senses and the participation of the spectator invited to indulge in unique sensory experiences in the world of contemporary art.

She has also collaborated, among others, with Cathia Bajon (for the performance “Cercle de cristal”), Arianne Chesaux (with whom she formed the duo Unda), Gauthier Keyaerts (for the performance “Transonic live bowls”), the cellist Matthieu Safatly, the multimedia creator Alain Wergifosse, the Bipolar Bears (with the author/visual artist Werner Moron and the sound creator Philippe Franck) the late electro-acoustic composer Stéphane Dunkelman or  the saxophonist/improviser Maurice Charles JJ. She is also the subject of videos by French director Régis Cotentin and Portuguese multidisciplinary artist Natalia de Mello.
