L’art Les gens L’artiste
A film by Robert and Delphine Milin
(74 min. / 2016)

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.
