In one scene, Kirsten Mcmenamy is up against a giant spider, while in another room, Malgosia Bela is posing<br />
nude in a bed with a jumbo snail facing down. Stella Tennant is in a pink cloud among the rhododendrons<br />
of an English country garden, Agyness Deyn stands in the sand dunes of Namibia amplified with real<br />
sand on the bottom of the room. Perhaps brought from Namibia?<br />
It can be argued that we are used to value the beauty of the photographic works. By looking into the wellcreated<br />
framework which have been granted for the making of it; the experience of being confronted by these<br />
constructions is something we are not commonly used to. The notorious installation props stationed around<br />
the different areas of the exhibition looses that bit of magic. An instant reaction from imagination to reality;<br />
the works of beauty from being in existence becomes drift apart; a disappointing and unexpected repercussion.<br />
For all one knows, it can be discussed as a matter of the presentation. The sculptured props appears<br />
equally with the photographic works. Moreover, the photographic pieces can be argued to work alternatively<br />
independently without loosing its magical flair that comes within Walker’s images. Subsequently, ending the<br />
show with the sculptural props in an exciting composition with splendor in amazement individually. However,<br />
the magic of fantasy in fairytale of the unreal is beyond an astonishment and by no means does it make up<br />
for an interesting exhibition as it stands.<br />
Far from it, his fairytale photography empowers the audience, the people - to be swooped into endless<br />
imagination. It is grand, it is fantasy and it is beautiful. Tim Walker is one unbeatable man when it come to<br />
true originality and genius feat of excellence in photography. He is the Willy Wonka of the fashion photography.<br />
It is unquestionable that it is a must see exhibit as additionally the admission is free.<br />
