'Linear time is a western invention; time is not linear, it is a marvellous entanglement where, at any moment, points can be chosen and solutions invented, without beginning or end.' -Lina Bo Bardi
The visual poetics of Isaac Julien's body of work Lina Bo Bardi - A Marvellous Entanglement, spectacularly entangles multiple cultures and time zones through choreographed performances which are powered by architectural structures. The multiple screen installation and photographic series A Marvellous Entanglement (2019) traverses a collection of Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi's most iconic buildings, offering a meditation on the work and legacy of the visionary modernist architect and designer (1914-1992).
Within a web-like construction of time and history, a visual poem unfurls across three geographic locations: São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP), Sesc Pompeia and in the Teatro Oficina, widely regarded as landmarks of Brazilian modernism. The work traverses north, also encountering Bo Bardi's buildings in Salvador: the Museum of Modern Art; the Coaty Restaurant and the Gregório de Mattos theatre. Starring Academy Award-nominee Fernanda Montenegro and her daughter, Cannes-laureate actor Fernanda Torres, A Marvellous Entanglement portrays Bo Bardi at different stages of her life, as the actresses interpret excerpts from the architect's writings.
Following the conceptual thread which Julien established in his earlier artistic investigations around portrait-making such as Ten Thousand Waves (2010), or the more recent Lessons of the Hour: Frederick Douglass (2019), Lina Bo Bardi - A Marvellous Entanglement looks at historical reparation through visual poetry, moved by the breadth and power of Bo Bardi's work, and a profound belief that her legacy has yet to be fully acknowledged.
