Web: www.haramuseum.or.jp NOVEMBER 2014 www.tokyoweekender.com ART & EXHIBITIONS | CULTURE | 7 The World of Tim Burton or die-hard Tim Burton fans, there is a rift in his oeuvre between the classic, avant-garde Tim Burton, and the more recent, mainstream Tim Burton. Whether Fyou’ve been a fan of his since way back, watching cult classics like Edward Scissorhands or The Night- mare Before Christmas on VHS, or you’ve watched his big-budget, family-friendly films like Alice in Wonderland or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the theater, it’s undeniable that Burton has an unmistakable, unforgettable style that shines darkly in every setting. Equal parts quirky and gothic, Burton’s films blend the grotesque with the goofy in a larger-than- life, surreal world of brilliant colors, silent shad- ows, stage-like sets and real human emotion. This exhibition, with over 500 collected items, brings us behind the scenes and into the mind of the iconic director. With numerous illustrations and sketches dating back to his teen years, this exhibition allows us to meet Burton’s characters from the moment of their “birth.” “We can see the films that Tim Burton dreamed,” explained Mori Gallery representative Maiko Ito.
