'Sometimes the movie knows you better than you know yourself, and you reveal your point of view about the world without ever even intending to.' Wes Anderson
An archive is always a time-machine, but the archives of Wes Anderson take us on a journey not just through time, but through layers of stories and the experiences of storytelling on paper and on film. This book is dedicated to these stories and celebrates Anderson's over 30 years in cinema.
From the start of his career, Anderson has maintained a rich library of notebooks, drawings, paintings, polaroids, props, puppets, sets, and costumes from his films. The objects shown here are enhanced and illuminated by Anderson's long-time collaborators: Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton; composer Alexandre Desplat; musician Seu Jorge; and music supervisor Randall Poster. Also included: an extensive interview with Anderson himself, reflecting on his films and working process.
Wes Anderson: The Archives accompanies the first retrospective exhibition of Anderson's work, curated by la Cin math que fran aise in Paris and the Design Museum in London in partnership with Wes Anderson
