"Isaac Julien's new nine-screen installationTEN THOUSAND WAVES is to receive its world premiere at the Sydney Biennale in May, followed by its Chinese premiere in Shanghai to coincide with Expo 2010 and its UK premiere at the Hayward Gallery, London in October.
TEN THOUSAND WAVES features Maggie Cheung, Zhao Tao, Yang Fudong, and poems by Wang Ping as commissioned by Julien and was shot on location in China. The work poetically weaves together stories linking China's ancient past and present. Through an architectural installation the work explores the movement of people across countries
and continents and meditates on unfinished journeys."
and continents and meditates on unfinished journeys."
Comment: the first i saw this large scale installation was in China 2010 before my arrival in America, and second time was the beginning of the 2011 in Miami. Julien as a western people, using the different perspective to describe the news that couple of fishermen died in the accident. he used the special Chinese poetry ways and images in this work. The surrounded videos and sounds provides viewers fantastic imaginary worlds.
