A collection of works by Greek film director Yorgos Lanthimos. A book of a series of photographs taken in New Orleans, USA during the production of the film Kinds of Kindness, which will be released in 2024. The film features cast members Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Jesse Plemons, Margaret Qualley, Joe Alwyn, Hunter Schafer, and others.

The author's work has been highly praised for its ambitious worldview creation and its exploration of absurd human relationships, and he has established himself as one of the most original and distinctive directors in the contemporary film world. In this book, he weaves a new story using a distinctive visual language through photographs taken on the set of his latest film, Three Chapters of Mercy, depicting the ambiguous space that exists between the actual filming locations in New Orleans and the other world of film.

Shooting both still and moving images on analog film, the artist enjoys the creative intimacy that the medium offers, and these previously unpublished color and black-and-white photographs become the building blocks of the world of his new film. The photographs presented in this book are fragments of a new narrative, full of tension and unsettling atmosphere of the artist's own making, delving deeply into the multiple possibilities of images and their contexts.
