LUMA Arles / In Search of… Incredible

LUMA Arles is proud to present In Search of… Incredible, a new exhibition by Sierra Leone-born, London-based poet, artist, and filmmaker Julianknxx, featuring a major new commission. Working across film, sound, and performance, the artist has developed a singular practice that brings poetry into dialogue with moving-image, creating works where memory is carried, spoken, and continually reshaped. His work explores the resonances of migration and diaspora, weaving intimate narratives with collective histories, and giving presence to voices and experiences often absent from dominant accounts. At the center of the exhibition, the new commission unfolds as an immersive environment in which image, sound, and language converge. Here, belonging emerges as something fragile and active, formed through transmission, inheritance, and acts of remembrance. Julianknxx approaches storytelling as a space of encounter, where personal testimony becomes a way to reflect on broader questions of identity and continuity. In Search of… Incredible highlights Julianknxx’s distinctive ability to create works of deep emotional and formal intensity. His practice expands how stories can be told and experienced, affirming his position as one of the most compelling voices of his generation. The exhibition reflects LUMA Arles’s ongoing commitment to supporting artists who challenge and renew our understanding of image, history, and the politics of voice.
