Catch-up post: The World of Tim Burton

Yes, this is a massive catch-up post. And heck, the review is in the current edition of BCM (#37) so heck, it’s a lot of catching up. But hey, this expo is still running, and I feel that it's a post right in time for Halloween tomorrow! :)

 

Back in August, Bert and I went to the see The World of Tim Burton at C-mine. C-mine in Genk is worth the visit in itself if you love steampunk, because with all the old mining machinery, it’s a steampunk dream. As I love both steampunk AND Tim Burton, I was totally in my element. I should have dressed MORE steampunk, the outfit shot would have been epic. Sadly, I didn’t, and it is how it is! 



But yeah, we visited the expo, and in most of it photos weren’t allowed. So we just took lots of photos in the parts that we could shoot in.  The expo itself was pretty amazing. 



I loved seeing all the art, and how varied it was. There were short films, music videos, art, props, sculptures, and giant instant camera photos. I still would like to know where I find an instant camera that makes A2 sized photos. I’d love to try my hand at that. Bert hopes I will never find out of course, I can’t blame him haha. Luckily for him, it’s not a particularly active search :). 



 

We had lunch at the Tim Burton café, which was very cute, BUT if you have food allergies, be VERY careful, as they are a little rubbish when it comes to listing ingredients. So I just had a honey speculaas waffle, which was definitely safe. Bert had proper food though. There is also a miner’s café downstairs, which is the regular one. So you can probably find something to eat there.

 

I had expected to spend some stuff at the gift shop, but in the end I only bought a card for my friend Zombie Sam. Because the merch was either way too expensive for what it was, or stuff I just didn’t want. 

If you are a Tim Burton fan, I would absolutely recommend seeing this exhibition whilst you still can, if you haven’t already! 

All my photos are here.
