Isaac Julien CBE RA (U.K., b. 1960; lives and works in London) is a global artist whose command of the moving image has not only transformed installation art, but also how we can relate to history and the need to rearticulate it. He is acclaimed for his subtle and compelling films as well as for his vibrant and inventive media art installations. During the past two decades he has made work largely, though not exclusively, for galleries and museums, using multi-screen installations to explore narrative and the representation of memory, desire, and cultural displacement.
