Photographer of the week 11: Wilson

2 Commentsby   |  03.29.12  |  film + photography

Experimental theater director, designer, and choreographer, Robert Wilson has been exploding conventional notions of portraiture since 2004. Everyone from Isabella Rossellini and Johnny Depp to an owl and an elderly car mechanic has fronted his lens, with results that mix photography, film and sculpture to extraordinary, and often hilarious, effect.

    Robert Wilson has some really cool stuff. There is a video portrait of Brad Pitt that uses many elements to make the composition as a whole pretty need. First of all Brad never moves, he blinds but other than that he is like a statue. Secondly it starts pretty normal and end with him being rained on. This change makes the portrait unique. I like that it is in real time and that he uses a blue light over it to make this portrait different than others but still a good composition. All of Wilson’s work uses vivid colors. Great stuff.
