Dear God, the Parthenon is still broken is a photographic vignette by Yorgos Lanthimos. Although created on the set of the film Poor Things in Budapest, the book inhabits a separate world, untethered from time and place.

The photographs drift between black and white and colour, giving the impression of a waking dream between past and present, whilst multiple layers between reality and fiction are gradually revealed. The film was set in various late 19th century locations including London, Lisbon, Marseille, and a cruise ship—all recreated in Budapest. These constructed cities and interiors provide the backdrop for the photographs. The characters populate these imagined cities whilst the precarious screens, scaffolding, rigs, lighting and crew are divulged on the periphery of the images. Lanthimos has intentionally widened the frame to show the workings of the construct, fabricating a new story within the story. To mirror this, the publication is designed with foldouts to reveal these constructs within the cast of characters—the reader opens a book within a book.

In reaction to the fast-moving creation of the film, Lanthimos embraced the opportunity to use a large-format camera to make these images, focusing on stillness, tonality and light. Deciding on a composition and not changing this until the exposure was complete, each picture provided him with a meditative time of focus. The creative process of making the images extended to collaboration with the actress Emma Stone who played the role of Bella Baxter in the film, for which she was awarded an Oscar. Through working together on previous projects, Lanthimos and Stone have developed a unique creative partnership. After a busy day of filming, they would develop the colour 6x7 negatives and the b&w 4x5 sheet film together in a makeshift darkroom in a bathroom. This alchemic act offered them both a creative outlet beyond the realm and constraints of the film.

The title of the book ‘Dear God, the Parthenon is still broken’ comes from a postcard that the character of Bella Baxter was to send to her father, God, from Athens. The scene was cut from the final version of the film.

The book opens with a previously unpublished poem by Patti Smith, inspired by the film.

Yorgos Lanthimos, was born in Athens, Greece. A versatile creative, in addition to directing dance and music videos, TV commercials, short films, and theatre plays, he has also photographed editorials and fashion campaigns. His breakthrough came with the film ‘Dogtooth’ (2009), earning an Un Certain Regard Prize at Cannes and an Oscar nomination. ‘The Lobster’ (2015) won a Jury Prize at Cannes and the European Film Awards. This was followed by ‘The Favourite’ (2018) which earned Olivia Colman an Oscar. His latest film, ‘Poor Things’, won Venice's Golden Lion and four Oscars. ‘Dear God, the Parthenon is still broken’ (Void) is Lanthimos' first photography monograph.

Biliana Voutchkova
 (violon/voix, Bulgarie)

19h30, Zoème - 8 rue Vian, 13006 Marseille | Entrée conseillé : 5€

Biliana Voutchkova est une violoniste Bulgare, vivant actuellement à Berlin. Elle a commencé à jouer du violon à l’âge de 4 ans et a enregistré son premier album solo à l’âge de 16 ans. Elle interprète aussi bien des pièces du répertoire classique, en solo ou avec orchestre, que des pièces de compositeurs contemporains, le plus souvent écrites spécialement pour elle. Ses recherches artistiques l’ont amenée à développer des performances de très longue durée et à pratiquer l’improvisation, repoussant ainsi toujours plus loin ses capacités physiques, techniques et sonores. Elle a travaillé avec des ensembles tels que Splitter Orchester ou Zeitkratzer, et joué avec d’innombrables musiciens comme Susan Alcorn, Olivia Block, Audrey Chen, Phill Minton, Mazen Kerbaj, Iva Bittová, George Lewis, Lucy Railton, Ute Wassermann, Michael Zerang, Andrea Parkins, Chris Abrahams, Rie Nakajima, Sabine Vogel, Andrew Lafkas, Axel Dörner, Clayton Thomas, Okkyung Lee, Sharif Sehnaoui, Reinhold Friedl, Robin Hayward, Sarah Davachi, Cat Lamb, Rob Mazurek, Nicole Mitchell, Hamid Drake, et bien d’autres… Parmi ses projets actuels, on peut citer son trio Jane in Ether avec Magda Mayas et Miako Klein ; ou son  duo avec le clarinettiste Michael Thieke, dont les performances peuvent durer plusieurs heures. Leur dernier album, « Blurred music », première référence du label Elsewhere, créé par Yuko Zama, est un triple CD (dont l’un a été enregistré à New York chez Phill Niblock) co-produit par David Sylvian, qui en a également réalisé la pochette.
