Artist Isaac Julien will give a talk titled "Geopoetics—Choreographing the Moving Image." Julien’s film practice incorporates different artistic disciplines, drawing from and commenting on film, dance, photography, music, theatre, painting and sculpture. In this lecture, he will present how he unites them to create a unique poetic visual language and topography in audio-visual film installations. Reflecting upon new filmic cultural techniques, Julien will present his take on the migration of images across the genealogies of moving images in an art and filmic context.
