Robert Wilson: On the Edge - (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A testament to Robert Wilson's legacy across theater, film, design and the arts with images selected and sequenced by the director himself just before his death

Published with The Arts Arena, Paris.

"I am a visual artist and this book should reflect my vision," declared the late director Robert Wilson (1941-2025) as he embarked on this publication, one of the last projects he worked on before his death. Indeed, this monograph is a true reflection of a true artist and his creative process, as recounted by the man himself together with members of his "creative family." Wilson personally selected and laid out each of the more than 200 production images in the book, including stills from his film Deafman Glance (1970) and his theatre works Einstein on the Beach (1976) and The Black Rider (1990). The result is the definitive visual guide to Wilson's work--a perfect complement to the director's autobiography, The Space Behind the Face: Life Stories, published by Penguin.
