"Few figures in cinema embody the word 'ongoing' quite like Tilda Swinton. For nearly four decades, she has moved through film, art, and fashion with a mercurial presence that defies category - at once avant-garde icon, Oscar-winning actor, collaborator, and fashion muse. Rizzoli's new release, Tilda Swinton: Ongoing, captures not only Swinton's prolific career but an intricate web of lifelong friendships, creative collaborations and dialogues, presenting a portrait of an artist whose curiosity and generosity remains infinite."
""We didn't want a coffee table book," says Julia Kozakiewicz, the publication's managing editor and project manager of the Ongoing exhibition at Amsterdam's Eye Filmmuseum. "We had such a wealth of material, both in text and image, that we really wanted to maintain the balance between a photographic album and something that can not only be looked at but also read from start to finish.""
Tilda Swinton's career spans nearly four decades across film, art, and fashion, characterized by a mercurial, boundary-defying presence and a sustained commitment to collaboration. An exhibition and companion volume assemble photographs, archival material, essays, and conversations to map an intricate network of lifelong friendships and creative partnerships. Contributions come from nine close artistic collaborators and over thirty photographers, supplemented by Swinton's own archive. Editorial direction sought a balance between visual album and readable narrative, informed by Swinton's collaborative ethos and emphasizing accessibility alongside artistic ambition. The project foregrounds curiosity, generosity, and cross-disciplinary dialogue.
