Abstract

For the development of projects current artistic creation, it is of utmost interest to know the conception of the images developed by Tim Walker over the last decades. The reports created by this photographer and this art director for magazines such as Vogue, W or Harper's Bazaar have established themselves as some of the great references in international fashion magazines. These collaborations have also moved to the art world, giving rise to large exhibitions in museums. Shona Heath has designed several exhibitions of Tim Walker's works presented at important European cultural institutions. Despite the wide dissemination of his images, art theory lacks research that goes deeper into his poetics and the methodologies with which he approaches his projects.
