Yorgos Lanthimos - VISCIN
In his latest artist’s book, Yorgos Lanthimos further develops his inimitable visual language and his rapidly growing body of photographic work with a beguiling collection of still photographs made around the sets and locations of his 2025 feature Bugonia. Shot spontaneously between takes, Lanthimos’s photographs present a story untethered to the film and its narrative conventions and once again he uses the possibilities of the book form to explore new modes of storytelling. Moving between offbeat compositions, uncanny portraiture, and evocative landscapes and reflections, Lanthimos weaves a tale of mystery and illusion, death and renewal, imbued with the psychological intensity and eerie modality characteristic of his work.
The physical form of the publication invokes the unspooling of a film reel, using an accordion or leporello fold to create a sculptural object. The resulting sequence unfurls a narrative of foreboding, violence, and rebirth, told through a progression of black-and-white into colour imagery. VISCIN’s unique visuality sees Lanthimos draw on these broad strands of his oeuvre to form a distinctive and enigmatic new world.
