Director, writer and installation artist, Isaac Julien was born in London, 1960. Objectives of his work include breaking down the barriers that exist between different artistic disciplines, drawing from and commenting on film, dance, photography, music, theatre, painting and sculpture, and uniting these to construct a powerfully visual narrative. Most of his works center around themes of class, sexuality, and artistic and cultural history.
Ten Thousand Waves (2010): This nine-channel video installation constitutes a mesmerizing hybrid form, a mixture of a travelogue, a kaleidoscopic portrait of Chinese history, and a filmic essay on contemporary networks of human and artistic migration – Metropolitan Museum of Art
