Tilda Swinton is developing an exhibition for the Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam that will include new film projects she will create in collaboration with a series of filmmakers, including Luca Guadagnino and Joanna Hogg.
The exhibition will be titled Tilda Swinton – Ongoing and will be on view from 28 September 2025 to 8 February 2026. The full list of filmmakers she has tapped for the exhibition are Pedro Almodóvar, Luca Guadagnino, Joanna Hogg, Jim Jarmusch, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Swinton will also create two installation pieces with fashion historian and curator Olivier Saillard and photographer Tim Walker.
The work of Derek Jarman, the late filmmaker behind seminal works like Jubilee and The Garden, will also be celebrated as part of the exhibition, with Swinton presenting never-before-seen archival material from his 8mm oeuvre. Jarman and Swinton were longtime collaborators, with the actor making her screen debut in Jarman’s Caravaggio.

“With the honour of this extraordinary invitation, Eye has given me the opportunity to reflect on the mechanics of my working practice over the past forty years,” Swinton said in a statement.
“In focusing attention on profoundly enriching creative relationships in my life, we share the narratives and atmospheres that inspire us: we offer new work, especially commissioned for the Eye exhibition, as the most recent gestures borne out of various companionable conversations that keep me curious, engaged, and nourished. An ongoing – and unbroken – thread of breadcrumbs through the wood, new leaves on long-established trees. The perpetual seedbed. I should be so lucky, in the gift of such an invitation, in such friends and in such a life.”
