The Perfect Night

On Saturday 29 October, during 30 Hours at the Kunsthal, Kunsthal Rotterdam and Operator will be joining forces for The Perfect Night. Following much-discussed editions that focused on, among other things, the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, fashion artists Viktor&Rolf, and Hip-hop culture in Street Dreams, this nocturnal encounter will introduce you to the fantastical imagination of the fashion photographer Tim Walker, with spectacularly executed sets guiding you to the enchanted worlds of his photographs. Enjoy a live talk show with special guests in the exhibition Wonderful Things, as well as performances and DJ-sets at the Kunsthal Café.

During this evening, talk show host Samira Ben Messaoud’s guests will include Tessa de Boer and Joris Suk of Maison the Faux, the designers of the exhibition Tim Walker: Wonderful Things. The photographer Leroy Verbeet and art director and set designer Ella Gerritsen will also pull up a chair during this broadcast by the Rotterdam online radio platform Operator.

Afterparty

Following the talk show there will be an afterparty at the Kunsthal Café, with DJ Leroy, Dim Garden and Krismika. And with Vineyard World in the building you never know which of Tim Walkers dream worlds may actually come to life!
