Inside Robert Wilson's new installation 'Starts with Light.'
Molly Cagwin
“I worked with a kind of narrative, something very personal to me,” explains the Waco, Texas native. “Where I grew up, it was a sin to go to the theater. I used to have to go deer hunting with my father. And as a young boy for Christmas, they would give me a shotgun. I didn't want the gun. I didn't want to pull the trigger.” Though he didn't enjoy the hunt, Wilson found solace in the act of getting up at the crack of dawn and being alone, and silent, in nature.
According to Cristina Grajales herself, the project began in July 2018 at the Watermill Center, the center for arts and culture in New York founded by Wilson in 1992. “We became friends when Beth DeWoody took us both to Havana back in 2003,” she says. “From that moment on, there was a lovely connection between us. We always talked about collaborating one day on a project. Finally the time came when he invited me to Watermill and I proposed a glass project produced by the Corning Museum.
For Wilson, however, even if the piece is slightly autobiographical, he has no overt takeaway in mind. “I think that having a message is boring,” he says, firmly. “It’s what you experience yourself. That’s what’s important.”
