Julien described his more recent film, Lessons of the Hour (2019), as “a series of still-life studies.” To create the multi-channel work, Julien shot footage at Frederick Douglass’s old home in Washington, D.C., capturing the famed abolitionist’s possessions to tell a larger story about freedom and ongoing struggles for racial justice.

Julien helped fundraise to preserve Prospect Cottage as a cultural site and made the film Derek (2008), which retells Jarman’s life through archival footage and more recent shots of the home and garden. Julien incorporated these works into “Brutal Beauty,” an exhibition he curated in 2008 at the Serpentine Galleries to celebrate Jarman’s work 14 years after the lauded director’s death.
