Since 2004, Robert Wilson has produced dozens of ‘Voom Portraits’, a series of videos in which 153 personalities pose for the video camera in HD dark, saturated colour. The videos utilise very gradual movement, elemental materials like water or earth, modernist music, and subtly shifting light. Featured celebrities include Brad Smith, Winona Ryder, and Johnny Depp. In 1992 Wilson founded the Watermill Center as an institutional resource and laboratory in New York for performance art. It holds his extensive art collection and working archives from Wilson and his many collaborators.
In 2020 Wilson curated an exhibition of photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe, which was held at Galerie Thomas Schulte, Berlin.
