ART, PEOPLE, ARTIST
A film by Delphine and Robert Milin
For more than
twenty five years, Robert Milin has
built a conception of space as an intense relationship between people and their
surroundings. Thus, the artist
defines processes that develop in the uncertain course of human environments
and social interactions. The participation of groups or individuals with whom
the artist determines a modus operandi takes the form of giving photographs,
creating and tending gardens, reconfiguring gallery exhibit spaces, creating
sound works of art or video portraits.
In 2015 and
2016, Milin decided to meet again
different people who participated in his works of art as gardeners, inventive
do-it-yourselfers, dog owners, breeders, inhabitants of a village…
The artist
wanted to give them voice about the work of art elaborated
together, a talk based on their common experience. Conversations are
interspersed with archive images and autobiographical reflections.
The
booklet includes a conversation between Delphine and Robert Milin that clarifies
the artist approach and contextualizes the projects mentioned in the film.
