Tim Walker’s ‘Wonderful Things’ exhibition is inspired by the Victoria & Albert Museum's vast archive which spans 5,000 years.
Instead, the British photographer created an entirely new body of work for his latest exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, called “Wonderful Things.” It will run from Sept. 21 to March 8 and features a series of 10 new photographic projects directly inspired by the museum’s vast archive, which spans 5,000 years.
To find and shoot these “wonderful things” Walker worked closely with Brown and longtime collaborator and set designer Shona Heath. Coincidentally, Brown’s first acquisition for the museum was a collection of Walker’s photographs. To Walker, the box symbolized a treasure chest and he related it to modern-day life where a girl of the same age would use her phone to store secrets. This inspired him to photograph James Spencer — a London club scene regular who felt that he had to suppress his true self in his hometown. Much like this story, each one of the 10 projects or worlds has a narrative built around it.
“You can see sometimes it is very obvious the picture it was inspired by,” says Heath, who built the sets around Walker’s inspirations. “We’d sit down to get the initial blood flowing. He is very communicative and what is nice is we both have a slightly different emotional response and on the day of the shoot, it will merge and becoming something different. It’s really magical to watch him shoot.”
