The inaugural exhibition at the Onassis Foundation’s new Athens space, ‘you are invited,’ offers a wide-ranging view of Juergen Teller’s evolving practice. Bringing together photographs, videos, and new, previously unseen images from the 1990s to today, the exhibition traces Teller’s distinctive blend of intimacy and irony across portraits, still lifes, and personal scenes.

Alongside his iconic images of figures like Iggy Pop, Kate Moss, and Charlotte Rampling, the show reflects a deepened emotional register shaped by recent experiences — photographing Pope Francis at a women’s prison during the Venice Biennale, documenting Auschwitz’s 80th liberation anniversary, and ongoing collaborations with his wife, Dovile Drizyte. Balancing humor and gravity, Teller’s work here takes on a renewed sense of purpose, exploring faith and fragility with an openness that’s at once personal and universal.
