Clay Mills is a filmmaker, photographer and writer originally from Texas, now based in Chicago.
To Clay, film lends itself to move like dreams and memory impressions without the need to resort to the cheap tricks of the dream-like, dream and flashback sequences, and the trippy. He believes film is a form that can intuitively make sense while watching it, while — like a dream — loses its sensibility in the act of explanation. This is where “movie magic” lives.
Clay photographs modernity, taking pictures of the “ugly” as if it was “beautiful.” His photos have been derided by the Ogden Museum of Southern Art’s Curator of Photography as “like Cartier-Bresson taking the decisive moment, but [instead] taking the indecisive moment.”
