ATHENS.- The renowned filmmaker and photographer, Yorgos Lanthimos presents at Onassis Stegi his first-ever exhibition in Greece of 182 photographs—running from March, 7 to May 17, 2026.

Yorgos Lanthimos is celebrated for his world-building and absurdist explorations of human relationships, establishing him as one of the most distinctive auteurs in contemporary cinema. This exhibition at Onassis Stegi brings together four bodies of 182 still photographs made over the course of the past five years, offering new perspectives and insight on this unique and singular visionary.

Building narratives, provoking emotional and intellectual leaps of faith beyond the frame of a still photograph and introducing the audience to a language that is a record of its own making, Academy Awards nominee Yorgos Lanthimos never fails to surprise us. From March 7 to May 17, Onassis Stegi invites you to his first-ever exhibition in Greece with photographs of his films’ locations, as well as Greece.

Beyond convention narratives, Yorgos Lanthimos: Photographs includes three photographic series made on the fringes of film locations in New Orleans and Atlanta, and in the recreated cities built as sets on soundstages in Budapest. While the fourth body of work is the first showing anywhere, from an ongoing body of personal photographs compiled during solitary walks around the edges of the city of Athens and on visits to islands in the Aegean Sea. Lanthimos brings to Onassis Stegi’s exhibition space a quiet, meditative eye to focus on the quotidian and mundane, harnessing the medium’s capacity for abstraction and transformation.

Many of the photographs appear in his recent books: "Dear God, the Parthenon Is Still Broken" (2024), comprised of photographs made during the filming of "Poor Things" (2023), and "i shall sing these songs beautifully" (2024), made alongside "Kinds of Kindness" (2024) and “viscin” (2026). Also included are previously unseen photographs made on the set of his latest film "Bugonia" (2025).

Yorgos Lanthimos: Photographs is curated by Michael Mack and commissioned and produced by Onassis Stegi. To coincide with the exhibition opening, Yorgos Lanthimos will launch his new photo book “viscin” (2026).
