Recently, I visited the exhibition of London fashion photographer Tim Walker at the V&A Art Gallery in London. The theme of this Tim Walker exhibition is: Wonderful Things, which was inspired by Tim Walker’s dreams and took a year to plan and arrange the exhibition. The classic giant doll and the dark mermaid are among his many masterpieces.
“The mermaid in the aquarium” is the work of my favorite Tim Walker. The man and the mermaid who are imprisoned in the aquarium love each other, and the weird and magical but logical. The layout of the whole exhibition consists of five or six exhibition areas. The theme of each exhibition area is different. The layout of the exhibition hall is also divided according to the theme. Each series of series of works will have a description of the photographer’s own text, and the scene will also be displayed. At the time, the props for shooting, and some of the exhibition areas also showed the works of his affected artists. The entire exhibition fully reflects Tim Walker’s life experience and trajectory, marking an alternative grotesque aesthetic style.
Tim Walker, a fashion photographer, pays more attention not to the clothing itself, but to the great spiritual power of the characters and the set. When you walk into reality from reality and touch the scenes that appear in distant Western magazines, you will find that his work is not an elusive question mark to the viewer, but a fairy tale-like fun and thinking.
