Gaze and gesture: the power of moving portraits

An Adelaide-exclusive exhibition of Robert Wilson’s video portraits explores the movement that lies in stillness.

Robert Wilson: Moving Portraits presents a collection of remarkable video portraits by the celebrated New York artist, designer, and director Robert Wilson.

Many of the elements that inform his stylised and highly inventive theatre and opera productions are incorporated into these video portraits. Lighting, costume, make-up, choreography, set design, and soundscapes are brought together to create slow-moving tableaux in a collection of portraiture for a new age.
