Yorgos Lanthimos – Jitter Period

The exhibition is a stroll through Yorgos Lanthimos’ creative vision – a world where his photography tells different stories from those in his films. The labyrinthine display evokes a sense of disorientation and allows viewers to wander and form their own interpretations of the artist’s unique universe.

Bringing together works from Lanthimos’ debut photobooks, Dear God, the Parthenon is still broken (photos created on the set of the film ‘Poor Things’ in Budapest, published by Void) and i shall sing these songs beautifully (photos made on the set of his latest feature, Kinds of Kindness, published MACK), the exhibition extends their dreamlike and open-ended nature into physical space. As visitors move through the ever-changing sequence of images, they are encouraged to experience the artist’s photography as a journey – one where getting lost is part of the encounter.
