The National Cinema Museum of Turin presents THE WORLD OF TIM BURTON, the exhibition dedicated to the creative genius of Tim Burton.
For the first time in Italy, the exhibition is set up at the Mole Antonelliana. A journey into the visionary universe and creativity of Tim Burton: the main core of the exhibition focuses on the director's personal archive, showing an incredible variety of his creative production. Therefore not only precious documents but also drawings and sketches with the recurring themes and visual motifs from which the characters that characterize the director's distinctive cinematic worlds came to life.
The exhibition retraces Burton's footsteps and the evolution of his singular visual imagination as a multidimensional postmodern artist, in a sort of autobiography told through his limitless creative process. Through the unique presentation of the director's work, his unique vision transcends mediums and formats, making it clear how ideas, themes, and even some specific images of his art ended up in the most iconic films we now associate with the glitz of cinematic spectacle.
Long before critical and commercial success in the live-action and animation genres, Burton drew inspiration from television films, animation, newspaper comics, school myths and fairy tales, and other forms of popular culture, incorporating these everlasting influences in his art and films. His childhood sketches demonstrate Burton's diversity and recall the work of his predecessors, including classic cartoonists and illustrators such as Edward Gorey, Charles Addams, Don Martin and Theodore Geisel.
The impact of Japanese monster films, expressionist cinema, Universal Studios' catalog of horror, and masters of suspense William Castle and Vincent Price also permeate his work. This major immersive exhibition is a kind of exclusive journey into the mind of a creative genius, the definitive exploration of Tim Burton's artistic production, inimitable style and specific perspective. Divided into 9 thematic sections, it presents over 500 examples of original works of art, rarely or never seen before, from the beginnings to the most recent projects, including sketches, paintings, drawings, photographs, concept art, storyboards, costumes, works in movement, maquettes, puppets and life-size sculptural installations.
An evocative setting leads visitors and fans to immerse themselves in Tim Burton's extraordinary universe, experiencing a deepening of his sensitivity.
The exhibition will end on the 7th of April.
