Be Different - tribute to Isabella Rossellini and Green Porno

I started at the beginning of Autumn with a little nod to Isabella Rossellini by making reference to a rather beautiful blog post I had found. Then last week I took a look at one of Isabella’s creative projects Green Porno. I really wanted to create a design that acknowledged what I had discovered in respect to these rather odd little films. As an artist this presented a little problem initially, as I did not want to make images of insects and other creatures in a state of intimacy. This was compounded by the fact that these intimacies can get odd! If you have seen the series you will realise that something either grizzly, bizarre or deadly occurs. Tempted as I was to capture an image of a man bee with missing penis about to die because he had managed to copulate with a lady bee, I decided this was not the route for me at the moment.

Looking back at Green Porno - Isabella Rossellini

Starting in about 2007 I went a few years without a TV in my home so this may be why I knew nothing about Green Porno which was a rather odd and funny collection of super short films which were conceived, written, co-directed by and featuring Isabella Rossellini.

Isabella Rossellini - a great tribute
