Yorgos Lanthimos’ Debut Photography Exhibition

The acclaimed filmmaker behind Oscar-winning films like The Favourite and Poor Things ventures into the world of fine art with his first-ever photography exhibition, a creative crossover that has left fans and art enthusiasts wondering what inspired this unexpected turn in his artistic journey.

A Passion for Photography

Lanthimos’ love affair with photography predates his success as a filmmaker. He appreciates the simplicity and directness of capturing a moment through still images, which contrasts sharply with the complex process of filmmaking. “I like the fact that you can just take a picture of a tree, process it, print it, and hold it in your hands,” he notes, highlighting his appreciation for the tactile nature of photography.

This debut exhibition offers a rare glimpse into Lanthimos’ creative process, showcasing his unique perspective on the world. By exploring this new medium, he is able to tap into his artistic sensibilities and express himself in ways that might not be possible through filmmaking alone.
