Director Yorgos Lanthimos has opened a photography exhibition at the Onassis Stegi in Athens, showcasing personal images taken in Greece over recent years. The show includes a central, temple-like installation housing his newer, non-film-related work, alongside earlier photographic series connected to his movies 'Poor Things' and 'Kinds of Kindness'.
The exhibition reveals Lanthimos's artistic process beyond filmmaking, highlighting photography as a meditative escape from the pressures of directing. It underscores his distinct, absurdist visual style—shared across his films and still images—and his collaborative creative relationship with actor Emma Stone, who participated in developing the photos. The show positions Lanthimos as a significant visual artist in his own right, independent of his cinematic fame.
