Wilmot Kidd (b. 1979) is an artist, photographer, and filmmaker based in New York. He graduated from Princeton University with a B.A. in Philosophy. His suburban nightscape series, taken primarily in the Hudson Valley, and executed in large tableau prints from 4-by-5 inch negatives, elaborates on the architectural documentary photography tradition. The works are also influenced by his experience with cinema and literature, and have been exhibited during his Pioneer Works Residency, and more recently in a talk at Harvard's GSD on a panel on landscape at night. A new series of works takes ideas from these nightscapes and transplants them to daytime landscapes. Kidd’s portrait photography has appeared in various publications including Vanity Fair and Monster Children. He has worked as a cinematographer on films presented at SXSW and "Aisle Take Manhattan", among other festivals. Kidd has conceptualized and fabricated video documents for installation artists, and has directed short fictional pieces for fashion houses and musicians.
