In spring of 2020, Louise Manifold and the singer Elizabeth Hilliard travelled to Musée d'art et d'histoire de Neuchâtel, Switzerland, the museum which houses The Jaquet-Droz automata, three beautifully handmade mechanical animated dolls, and there, made a short film in response to these extraordinary creations. This project, developed with Hilliard, will be presented as a video installation The Escape Wheel, an opera work based on the performance, mechanism, design and action of the dolls. Louise works conceptually with film, photography, sculpture and text.
