Poetic meditation on the American black writer Langston Hugues and the “Harlem Renaissance”. Isaac Julien gives a lyrical reconstitution of this period, where the forgotten beauty of gay black culture is revealed in a society where homosexuality was regarded as a sin.

A variation on the representation of the “white man” through the image of the American cowboy and the homoerotic fascination that it causes. Experiments in vision and sound help provide a beautiful backdrop to this unique poem. Collaboration between Isaac Julien and Javier de Frutos
