SUMMARY:Yorgos Lanthimos: Photographs
DESCRIPTION:As the This is Athens City Festival kicks off an exciting new partnership with Onassis Stegi\, we offer a look through the lens of a true visionary. In his first-ever solo photography exhibition in Greece\, the internationally acclaimed director Yorgos Lanthimos presents 182 works that map out his unique visual language through a different medium.\n\nThis is a brilliant opportunity to get to know a whole other side of his artistry\, stepping away from the cinema screen and into the still image. In the exhibition space of the Stegi\, visitors encounter photographs created on the margins of film productions such as Poor Things (2023)\, Kinds of Kindness (2024)\, and Bugonia (2025)\, shot in cities like New Orleans and Atlanta\, as well as in studios in Budapest\, where entire cities were constructed as cinematic sets\, alongside a new series of works from Athens and the Aegean.\n\nThrough these images\, the familiar\, the strange\, and the silent take on a new intensity. It’s Lanthimos at his most raw\, showcasing his deeply personal and recognisable authorship. Whether he’s capturing a landscape or the human form\, you’re invited to see the world through the singular\, idiosyncratic gaze of one of the world’s most significant contemporary creators.\n\n20 invitations are available from the Onassis Stegi for 7\, 8\, 14\, and 15 May – 5 invitations per day.\n\nBookings open one week before each event at 12:00 noon and are made via this page.

SUMMARY:Dimitra Siaterli: Cohesive Networks
DESCRIPTION:This solo exhibition by Dimitra Siaterli\, curated by art historian and museologist Vasia Magoula\, is presented as a fascinating journey connecting the artist’s past and present. Spanning from the 1980s and 90s right through to her brand-new productions\, the exhibition unfolds in three sections that feel like acts in a play. Visitors will wander through a world of strange minerals\, fossils\, and mythical creatures\, eventually arriving at an “anatomy” of the human form through striking sculptures\, meshes\, and engravings. Tiny human figures seem to leap out from labyrinths and processions\, creating a playful tension between myth and reality. This is an experiential journey that reminds us of the vital human need for connection and our place as a precious part of a vast\, collective network. It is a study of coexistence\, delivered in a visual language that speaks to the heart about the time and space we all share.\n\n\nOpening: 14 May at 19:00.\n\nExhibition duration: 14 May – 21 June\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday – Saturday: 11:00–19:00 & Sunday: 10:00–16:00\, Monday: closed.

SUMMARY:Music & Film: "Sunrise" with Manos Kitsikopoulos
DESCRIPTION:Experience the magic of silent film paired with live music in the grand interior courtyard of the Arsakeio Mansion\, an architectural “jewel” in the heart of Athens. The spotlight of the evening falls on “Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans” (1927)\, directed by the legendary F.W. Murnau.\n\nOften cited as one of the greatest films in cinematic history\, Sunrise tells the haunting story of a farmer lured by a mysterious woman into a dark plot against his own wife. What follows is a painfully lyrical journey of reconciliation set against a bustling urban backdrop\, an eternal struggle between the shadows and the light of the human soul.\n\nBringing the images to life is the distinguished soloist Manos Kitsikopoulos. The Greek pianist provides the musical score and improvises on stage\, drawing inspiration from great composers such as Chopin\, Weill\, Satie and Radiohead. His live piano improvisations do more than just accompany the film; they “translate” every frame into raw emotion\, creating an immersive experience beneath the mansion’s iconic glass roof.
