Video Portraits

Robert Wilson's "Video Portraits" incorporate a multitude of creative elements, lighting, costume, make-up, choreography, gesture, text, voice, set design in a complete synthesis of all the media in the realm of Wilson's art making. The final result on the HD monitor resembles a photograph, but on closer inspection reveals Wilson's highly developed theatrical language in conjunction with the startling clarity and precision of HD video.

This special version for Midnight Moment included video portraits of actors, artists, dancers, writers, athletes, people of all backgrounds, and animals that reflect the breadth of Wilson's career. While known for creating highly acclaimed theatrical pieces, Wilson's work is firmly rooted in the fine arts. His drawings, paintings and sculptures have been presented around the world in hundreds of solo and group showings.
