Summary
- Yorgos Lanthimos' new book VISCIN is an artist's book of photos.
- Photos were taken on the set of his upcoming film Bugonia.
- The book transitions from black-and-white to color imagery.
Acclaimed director Yorgos Lanthimos has released VISCIN, a new artist's book published by MACK Books. The book features photographs captured on the set of his 2025 feature film, Bugonia. These images offer a standalone narrative, diverging from the film's plot, and explore themes of mystery, illusion, death, and renewal through Lanthimos' signature style.
The physical publication is designed as a sculptural object, utilizing an accordion fold that resembles a film reel. As readers unfold the pages, they experience a visual progression from stark black-and-white photography into vivid color imagery, symbolizing foreboding and rebirth.
