"Tim Walker: Wonderful Things" is not your average retrospective.Author:Taylor BryantPublish date:Sep 20, 2019Photographer Tim Walker's work is instantly recognizable by the fantastical worlds he creates.
Brown was quick to let Walker know that the museum holds over two million objects, so seeing everything might not be very realistic. But he saw what he could over the course of a year, from sculptures and paintings to drawings and jewelry, raiding each collection with the curiosity of an early explorer.
"When Tim saw that, he said, 'Oh, I can see an Empress and she's walking her pet dragon at night…picking flowers which only bloom by the night of the full moon. It blew me away, really," Brown says. "When Tim sees an object that speaks to him, his reaction to it is so instant and he often starts to draw a picture of the photograph that he wants to make immediately.
Another bit of the exhibition that stands out is the diversity across categories. "There's a massive range of ages within the pictures: Gwen Franklin is nearly 90, Tilda Swinton is in her 60s," Brown explains. "There's a brilliant range of ethnic diversity in the pictures as well. We’ve also got drag queens and transgender models." This isn’t exactly surprising or unexpected for Walker, who shot the 2018 Pirelli calendar which refreshingly included an all-Black cast.
