Isaac Julien: Ten Thousand Waves at Espace Louis Vuitton Osaka

Created in collaboration with some of China's leading artistic voicesTen Thousand Waves (2010) is a monumental video installation that stages a polyphony of actors, places and periods in a tribute to Chinese culture. The original inspiration for the work was the Morecambe Bay tragedy of 2004, in which 23 Chinese cockle-pickers died. At the crossroads of calligraphy, cinema and various mythologies, this masterpiece from the Collection addresses the issues of displacement and immigration.

 

On view 27 March–22 September 2024

 

To celebrate the exhibition, Julien will give a talk at Osaka University's Nakanoshima Center on Wednesday 27 March at 6:30pm — free; book now
