This unique and personal exhibition focuses on Tilda Swinton's creative collaborations. She presents new and existing work by eight artistic partners and close friends: Pedro Almodóvar, Luca Guadagnino, Joanna Hogg, Derek Jarman, Jim Jarmusch, Olivier Saillard, Tim Walker, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
Filmmaker Luca Guadagnino creates a new, intimate portrait of Tilda Swinton in the form of a short film and a sculpture. Together with childhood friend and filmmaker Joanna Hogg, Swinton presents Flat 19, a multimedia reconstruction of her 1980s London apartment and an exploration of memory, space, and personal history. Using a new edit, visual processing, and soundtrack, filmmaker Jim Jarmusch reworks existing footage from his absurdist zombie film The Dead Don't Die (2019) into a completely new installation.
Together with the distinguished fashion historian Olivier Saillard, Swinton is creating a multi-day performance in which she brings a unique wardrobe to life: garments from her personal collection, film costumes, red carpet dresses, and family heirlooms. They are also developing a unique presentation showcasing the clothes in the exhibition. Photographer Tim Walker visited Tilda Swinton at her family home in Scotland for a photo series about her ancestors and the continuity that a place can offer. Filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul also visited Swinton at her home; he created an intriguing, meditative installation in which the presence of spirits and ancestors becomes palpable.
