A MARVELLOUS ENTANGLEMENT, THE FILM & PHOTOGRAPHIC SERIES
A nine-screen installation traversing Lina Bo Bardi's most iconic buildings in São Paulo and Salvador. Through the performances of Fernanda Montenegro and Fernanda Torres, who embody Bo Bardi at different stages of her life, Julien creates a non-linear meditation on time and space. The work moves through the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP), SESC Pompéia, and Teatro Oficina, where modernist architecture becomes stage for cultural memory. Premiered at Victoria Miro and Art Basel, this visual poem captures Bo Bardi's profound belief that "time is not linear, it is a marvellous entanglement, where at any moment points can be chosen and solutions invented without beginning or end.

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.
