By Isabelle Yupper, played over seventy roles in films and theater and worked with many great directors - Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Ozone, Claude Shabrolem and Michael Hanekom, Joseph Louzi, Helom Hartley and Robert Wilson, the least fits the definition of «Diva». It is the embodiment of European art-house, rejecting Hollywood star system, an actress rather skill, allowing reincarnate in a variety of characters, rather than charisma, and unchanged in any role and any producer. And even the beauty, which has some of its heroine, but rather skill, rather than the natural data. Unlike the stars of Hollywood types in Isabelle Yupper not a myth, a permanent image. Her off-screen image - it is as though her own business, and it might seem that, having left the set, it generally ceases to be visible to the cameras.

However, at the Manezh, it appears that the celebrated photographers like Isabelle Yupper not less than the well-known directors. It literally removed everything from the patriarchs such as Henri Cartier-Bresson to the stars of contemporary art, such as Nan Goldin. In the actress they seem to be attracted by the ability to accurately translate their ideas and be an ideal unknown to anyone not able to meet twice.

Before the lens of photographer Isabelle Yupper played a different role, so even looking at two hundred images, taken from the late 1960's and today, it is impossible to understand how it looks in reality. Change the age (and not always in accordance with the dates of imagery), style (regardless of the change of fashion), hair color. And even freckles on her skin is visible, then disappear without trace. With the view expressed in the late 1960's photo Penelope Shovlo we look freckled, with short curly vortices androginny boy. Helmut Newton, lifting Yupper in 1970, in poluraspahnutom gown and one's hair, making it the appearance of freckles этакой almost prerafaelitskoy beauty. Josef Koudelka saw her Parisian ingenue, for a second stay on the sidewalk to listen accordionist. Richard Avedon - emancipated intellektualku in a leather jacket, visitor to the New York bohemian bar. American fotohudozhnitsa Nan Goldin, famous intimate slide film of the life of Bohemian margins, chilly photographed sitting on a bench in the park Yupper so that it is difficult to get away from the idea that the eye under dark glasses at the movie star tired, red, box with dark circles. In Robert Wilson, it appears in the guise of dazzling siftproof Greta Garbo.

More or less remained unchanged, perhaps, the only think that Isabelle Yupper looking into the camera - and wary about the suspect as a man who clearly does not want him familiarly looked into the soul. Hardly the best product at the exhibition, crowded stellar works of authors, is a classic video video art Gary Hill. Actress simply stands before a camera, not knowing what she needs to do, and obviously weigh the fact that it had nothing to play. Designer launches video simultaneously on two screens, and with time intervals - and it turns out that Isabel Yupper exchanges annoyance and lost views with itself. Perhaps, someone with little of his famous partner on stage and screen actress was able to play equally intense dialogue dumb.
