London-based filmmaker and artist Stephen Isaac-Wilson creates exquisite, intimate works that centre marginalised communities on screen. “I have a desire to reimagine and devise alternative realities for black and queer people, and also to subvert what and who we consider ‘cool’ and ‘beautiful’,” he says. His work has been shown at the Barbican, Serpentine, and the Tate Britain, where his film Day Dream, an intimate portrayal of love, desire, and intimacy, was created in response to, and screened at, the Queer British Art 1861-1967 exhibition.
