Labor and Support
According to Jason French, BCM's curator of collections, the documentary stems from an exhibit that was originally planned at the museum this past fall in conjunction with FotoFocus 2020 Biennial. "Unfortunately, the epidemic forced the cancellation of FotoFocus and our exhibit," French said. "But we didn’t want to give up the opportunity to share Malcolm's incredible work with our friends in Northern Kentucky. So we decided to produce a video that would profile his work."
French, accompanied by videographer Mary Jane Calderon, followed Wilson to his hometown in Eastern Kentucky, tagging along as he photographed his subjects and discussed his philosophy about his art.
