Tim Burton: Designing Worlds One advantage I think is my design sense. When you’re drawing, every element, every line, makes up what it is; and there is a feeling of that when I think about a shot." – Tim Burton Contributor Bio(s) Maria McLintock and Hadeel Eltayeb are curators at The Design Museum. Quotes/Reviews The show provides a rich interrogation of [Tim Burton's] practice, highlighting in particular the relationships that have been most pivotal in the spell he’s cast over the past five decades. -Zoe Whitfield / Wallpaper* From the candy-coloured suburbs of Edward Scissorhands through the brilliantly dark deco nightscapes of Gotham in his version of Batman, we can see how the director took a trip from the suburbs to the haunted mansion and somehow ended up at the twisted, trippy, hysterical toyshop that characterises his later movies and TV. -Edwin Heathcoute / The Financial Times Table of Contents Preface by Tim Marlow UK Cover Price: £34.95
Tim Burton: Designing Worlds is the official catalogue for the Design Museum exhibition opening in October 2024, as well as the first publication to explore the relationship between Tim Burton’s artistic creations and the world of design. The reader will be invited into an examination of what is now broadly referred to as the ‘Burtonesque’, exploring his iconic style and the impact his unique design aesthetic has on broader visual culture.
The catalogue will unpack Tim Burton’s distinctive visual language, exploring the intersection of gothic, carnivalesque and fantastical elements that define his cinematic masterpieces. Insightful essays by design experts and film critics, interspersed with images featured in the exhibition, will offer a deeper understanding of the director’s creative process, making this catalogue an homage to the role that design practice plays in the hauntingly beautiful worlds he creates.
