Tilda Swinton will explore the nature of collaboration in a major exhibition

Opening on September 28th, Tilda Swinton – Ongoing is a major new exhibition at Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam, running through February 8th, 2026. Curated by Swinton herself, the show reflects on her four-decade career through the lens of collaboration—an ongoing conversation with filmmakers, artists, and fashion visionaries. Across eight works, six of them newly created, the exhibition explores themes of memory, movement, nature, and creative fellowship.

Highlights include a piece by Pedro Almodóvar, revisiting his 2024 film The Room Next Door, and a new audiovisual work by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, known for his meditative, dreamlike cinema. A collaborative project with Olivier Saillard transforms Swinton’s personal archive into a performance-installation that examines her relationship to dress and time. Another work, made with photographer Tim Walker, draws on their past editorial projects and Swinton’s own ancestry.

The exhibition also pays tribute to Derek Jarman, who cast Swinton in her screen debut, through a presentation of unseen 8mm footage from his archive. As Eye Filmmuseum continues its legacy of honoring cinematic visionaries, Tilda Swinton – Ongoing offers an intimate and multifaceted portrait of an artist who has always moved between genres, disciplines, and worlds.
