Isolarii, stylized as ISOLARII is a publishing studio that was officially launched in 2021 by India Ennenga and Sebastian Clark. The name originates from the Renaissance tradition of 'island books.'[1] Clark was inspired by René Daumal’s book about an island, Mount Analogue, that Ennenga sent him while working at a smartphone factory in China.[2][3]
ISOLARII is known for the palm-sized format of its books. In March 2022, Dominick Ammirati wrote in Artforum that “the press has succeeded at imbuing the book form with the psychophysical qualities of a mala, a rosary, kombolói, a smartphone—objects that you pick up and feel almost anxious letting go of.”[4]
ISOLARII is also known for its array of international avant-garde writers and political activity. In October 2020, Isolarii published F Letter: New Russian Feminist Poetry, becoming a symbol for anti-government protests in Russia.[5]
Its release method requires readers to be subscribed — to receive everything it publishes, once every two months, including multimedia forewords, delivered via email.
Ennenga, in an interview for 032c, described how “each book is a perspectival shift. We will cross disciplines and continents, but, every two months, we will bring you to a place that turns reality on its head – and offers a new approach to inhabiting the world."[6]
In April 2021, Isolarii published Street Cop by Robert Coover and Art Spiegelman. The New York Times described it as a “palm-sized lark”[7] and Michael Silverblatt called it “a secret book.”[8]
The series has been compared to Hanuman Books[9] and described by Hans Ulrich Obrist as an “ingenious book club.”[10]
In March 2022, Isolarii expanded its digital media with a war diary by Yevgenia Belorusets, updated throughout the invasion of Ukraine.[11] It was translated daily into twelve languages, and drew international attention from high-profile figures like Margaret Atwood and Miranda July.[12][13]
