Wilmer Wilson IV explores the ever-changing relationship between the city and its inhabitants through an intermedia lexicon consisting of performance, photography, and sculpture.
“Postscript, Survey” features dense swarms of staples mirroring bustling crowds, parting around and merging into structures, junctures, and one another. The staples undulate and settle into the compositions, inciting visually dynamic movement. The city is undeniably present in the work; inhabitant as both mark and maker of mark, accretions of staples that amass in parallel to urban populations, and topographical inspiration. We feel the energy of the city and its inhabitants, the glamour and brutality in a single gesture.
