Hillman Curtis was an incredible filmmaker, and design advocate. I’ve shown a few of his artist film series to my graphic design classes in the past. I was greatly inspired by his works. He passed away yesterday.

Watch this video, as it relates to our discussion on the moving picture (portraits).

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.

Bill Viola is a brilliant video artist. Although his medium is primarily video, nonetheless, his works take an incredible amount of photography and technology in the making of images. His work is quite appropriate for our discussion at this point, the interweaving of photography and video.

Watch the 12min video interview about Tristan und Isolde in Sweden and Finland this Summer from the link below. Or ‘google’ his work online for more images.
