Sir Isaac Julien鈥檚 multichannel film installation Lina Bo Bardi鈥擜 Marvellous Entanglement (2019) offers a poetic portrait of the leading architect of Brazilian modernism, Lina Bo Bardi (1914鈥�1992). Unfolding in a nonlinear narrative, Julien鈥檚 film explores Bo Bardi鈥檚 life, work, and legacy, exemplifying her remark that 鈥渢ime is not linear, it is a marvellous entanglement.鈥� A new nine-screen installation envisioned for the Yale Architecture Gallery ignites a conversation between Bo Bardi鈥檚 Brazilian landmarks, Julien鈥檚 filmic homage, and Paul Rudolph鈥檚 Brutalist design for the Yale School of Architecture. In Julien鈥檚 loving portrayal, Bo Bardi鈥檚 personal history is intertwined with the enduring life of the buildings she designed, which are now embedded in the culture and social fabric of Brazil. Much like Bo Bardi鈥檚 expressive architecture, Julien鈥檚 film provides space for a wide range of creative practice, including performances by the Academy Award鈥搉ominated actor Fernanda Montenegro and her daughter, the Cannes-laureate actor Fernanda Torres; original dance choreographed by Zebrinha and performed by the Bal茅 Folcl贸rico da Bahia; and a commissioned performance by the art collective Arak谩. Bo Bardi鈥檚 individual story is entangled within a cultural ecosystem that celebrates the vibrancy of the arts in Brazil.
