Isaac Julien: All That Changes You. Metamorphosis at Palazzo Te

On the occasion of its 500th Anniversary, the Palazzo Te Foundation presents a world premiere of a new film installation by Isaac Julien, on view from 4 October 2025.

From the dialogue between director Stefano Baia Curioni, Lorenzo Giusti, Isaac Julien, and Mark Nash, the idea of creating an exhibition project emerged in which the theme of Metamorphoses and the poetic vision of Giulio Romano – with his ability to question the present – could be reinterpreted from a 'more than human' perspective, starting from philosophical reflections and narrative cues of recent years.
