Isaac Julien

A visual record and philosophical investigation of Isaac Juliens immersive installation on the modernist architect Lina Bo Bardi Isaac Juliens multiscreen installation Lina Bo BardiA Marvellous Entanglement is a poetic portrait exploring the life, work, and legacy of the Italian-born Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi (19141992). The installation enfolds viewers in a narrative that exemplifies Bo Bardis observation that time is not linear, it is a marvellous entanglement. In this book, Julien combines elements of his recent video installation, works from his related photographic series, and a rich selection of archival materials, offering a deeper understanding of Bo Bardi and her influence. The publication features an essay by theorist Giuliana Bruno, a behind-the-scenes account of the project by curator and scholar Mark Nash, and a conversation between Julien and members of Brazilian art collective Arak, who performed in A Marvellous Entanglement.
