Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier (Copenhagen, 1956) presents twenty-four film stills at Galerie Perrotin in Paris, spanning his career from Europa (1991) to The House That Jack Built (2018). The exhibition includes iconic images from Melancholia (2011), Dogville (2003), Antichrist (2009), and Breaking the Waves (1996). Curated by Jens-Otto Paludan and Malou Solfjeld over a decade, the selection was reduced from over one hundred works.
