Milan photographs: 21 contact sheets of Wilmarth at factory and his Milan studio, 1973 c. 1973

Editor: This is "Milan photographs: 21 contact sheets of Wilmarth at factory and his Milan studio, 1973" by Enzo Nocera. It's a photographic work showing a series of images, like film strips. What I find interesting is how the industrial space seems to dwarf the figures within it. How do you interpret this work? Curator: Seeing these contact sheets, I’m drawn to the means of production itself. Look at how the artist documents labor and space. The factory setting becomes a crucial element, not just a backdrop, emphasizing the relationship between Wilmarth's artistic production and the industrial processes that surround it. What does this say about the consumption of art? Editor: That's a perspective I hadn't considered! It makes me think about the physical act of creation and the many hands involved. Curator: Exactly. It moves beyond the romanticized view of the solitary artist.
