A MARVELLOUS
ENTANGLEMENT

Director — Isaac Julien
Perfumer — Yann Vasnier
Medium — Film
Status — Available

» Opulent flowers blooming in brutalist light. Warm concrete exhaling the mineral memory of São Paulo.«

Isaac Julien's nine-screen installation traverses Lina Bo Bardi's most iconic buildings — MASP, SESC Pompéia, Teatro Oficina — through the performances of Fernanda Montenegro and Fernanda Torres, who embody Bo Bardi across the stages of her life. Bo Bardi believed that “time is not linear, it is a marvellous entanglement.” The fragrance captures this dissolution — mineral warmth rising from concrete, opulent white petals, the sensuous heat of a body moving through space.

Isaac Julien is an accomplished filmmaker and video installation artist whose multi-screen works explore fractured narratives of memory and desire, uniting elements from various art forms. His 1989 film "Looking for Langston" poetically treats gay black poet Langston Hughes and the Harlem Renaissance. His installations "A Marvellous Entanglement" (2019) traverse Lina Bo Bardi's iconic buildings as a meditation on the modernist architect, while "Ten Thousand Waves" (2019) investigates China's ancient past and changing present through interwoven narratives.
