What Freedom Is To Me, K21, Düsseldorf, Germany

The first survey exhibition in Germany dedicated to work of the British artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien reveals the breadth of a groundbreaking oeuvre from its emergence in the 1980s to the present. Julien’s critical thinking, aimed above all at an intense engagement with the culture and history of colonialism, is expressed in his early films, as well as in the highly aesthetic film images of the major, internationally acclaimed video installations of the last twenty years.
