Isaac Julien
Stones Against Diamonds, 2015
London, england
Durations in Light Box
123 x 123 x 5 cm
Edition of 4 + AP1 Ed
There’s a quiet intensity to Stones Against Diamonds. A delicate balance between weight and light, permanence and fragility. Isaac Julien’s work invites us to dwell in the space where time dissolves, where the past meets the present in a shimmering interplay of shadow and shine.
Captured within the light box, the stones - ancient, weathered, elemental - anchor us to the earth, while the diamonds, crystalline and radiant, flicker with the ephemeral promise of light. It’s a meditation on resilience and transformation, on how endurance shapes identity and memory.
