Accidentally Wes Anderson is a breathtakingly beautiful photography book inspired by the whimsical aesthetic of film director Wes Anderson. Compiled by Wally Koval, the book presents more than 200 locations around the world that, in one way or another, combine visual elements typical of Wes Anderson's films: distinctive architecture, stunning landscapes, meticulous symmetry and delicious pastel colours. The book begins with a foreword written by Wes Anderson himself.
Wes Anderson’s beloved films announce themselves through a singular aesthetic – one that seems too vivid, unique, and meticulously constructed to possibly be real. Not so – in Accidentally Wes Anderson, Wally Koval collects the world’s most Anderson-like sites in all their faded grandeur and pop-pastel colours, telling the story behind each stranger than-fiction-location.
Based on the viral online phenomenon and community of the same name, Accidentally Wes Anderson celebrates the unique aesthetic that millions of Anderson fans love – capturing the symmetrical, the atypical, the unexpected, the vibrantly patterned, and distinctively coloured in arresting photographs from around the world.
Authorised by Wes Anderson himself, and appealing to the millions who love his films, this book is also for fans of Cabin Porn and Van Life – and avid travellers and aspiring adventurers of all kinds.
