Isaac Julien’s groundbreaking exhibition, “I Dream a World,” at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, takes viewers on a journey through time and space, exploring historical and contemporary moments that have shaped society. The British artist’s first comprehensive museum survey in the United States showcases a range of his influential works, including the iconic “Looking for Langston” (1989) and the thought-provoking “Once Again . . . (Statues Never Die)” (2022).

In a conversation with Julien, we delved into his artistic journey and the themes that have driven his genre-defying visual practice. Julien shared how his early artistic investigations led him to explore questions of absence, erasure, and hidden histories, particularly focusing on the lives of marginalized individuals whose stories have been overlooked in mainstream narratives. He spoke about the influence of African diasporic literary figures like Frantz Fanon and filmmakers such as Ousmane Sembène and Spike Lee on his work.

Julien’s use of multiple screens in his film installations has allowed him to expand the visual language of filmmaking, creating immersive experiences that challenge viewers to rethink how they perceive and interpret history. Through films like “Once Again . . . (Statues Never Die),” Julien addresses the ongoing debate surrounding the restitution of stolen objects from Africa, highlighting the importance of recognizing and rectifying past injustices.

As we reflect on Julien’s career and the impact of his retrospective exhibition, it becomes clear that his work is not just a look back at the past but a critical commentary on the present. By presenting his works in a chronological sequence, Julien invites viewers to consider how they look and see the world around them, prompting a reevaluation of historical narratives and the ways in which we engage with art and culture.

Through his innovative storytelling and visual aesthetics, Julien continues to push boundaries and inspire audiences to think more deeply about the complexities of history, identity, and representation.
