Isaac Julien - Lina Bo Bardi--A Marvellous Entanglement

A visual record and philosophical investigation of Isaac Julien's immersive installation on the modernist architect Lina Bo Bardi
 
Isaac Julien's multiscreen installation Lina Bo Bardi-A Marvellous Entanglement is a poetic portrait exploring the life, work, and legacy of the Italian-born Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992). The installation enfolds viewers in a narrative that exemplifies Bo Bardi's 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 Araká, who performed in A Marvellous Entanglement.
