Tom Walker

Country of residence United Kingdom

Tom Walker exploits a YouTube aesthetic, scavenging the Internet for backdrops to cut and paste footage of his baby son into. Within his films the threat of danger to the child is always hinted at but never fully realised. Walker’s films are short, funny, and worrying. He uses shots of suggested violence, which are pasted together roughly, with the anti-craft technique of the impatient amateur. A baby floats superimposed within a sky of pixels into a home video, adults speaking in the background. In another scene the baby is suspended from a rotating parachute. Gravity is wanting, the baby disappears….then reappears CRASH! in your face.
