Isaac Julien has created a new site-responsive film installation titled 'All That Changes You. Metamorphosis' at The Cosmic House in London. The work, which features protagonists Lilith and Naomi, explores themes of transformation, cosmology, and interdependence through a non-linear narrative that moves from Californian redwoods to Renaissance interiors, using the postmodern architecture as an active participant in the dialogue.
The exhibition matters as a significant new work by a major contemporary artist, reimagining the relationship between moving image, architecture, and philosophical inquiry. It positions Julien's practice within ongoing conversations about ecology, feminist science fiction, and the fluidity of time, offering a sensorial and theoretical meditation on coexistence for a contemporary audience. The site-specific nature of the installation at Charles Jencks's iconic Cosmic House further blurs the lines between artistic medium and architectural space.
