After debuting in Malta in 2025 to critical acclaim, Look at Me − Framing the Iconic, an installation from British-Maltese portrait photographer Lorenzo Agius, is now on display at the Corinthia London in a new site-specific format.
Running throughout the 2026 BAFTA Awards season, the exhibition transforms the hotel’s grand public spaces with large-scale, suspended portraits of British and American film and music icons.
Born to Maltese parents and best known for creating the era-defining campaign for Trainspotting, Agius has spent three decades capturing the charisma, eccentricity and humanity of cultural icons.
Ewan McGregor, Helena Bonham Carter, Jude Law, Cate Blanchett, Clive Owen, Kate Winslet, Bill Nighy and more all feature in the exhibition, alongside a constellation of American stars including Denzel Washington, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Will Smith, Madonna and Meryl Streep.
Curated by Charlene Vella, the exhibition brings Agius’s most celebrated images into an immersive environment. Monumental prints appear to “float” through Corinthia’s lobbies and corridors, inviting guests to encounter these famous faces in an unexpectedly intimate way.
Presented in collaboration with the Maltese High Commission in London and Visit Malta, the installation celebrates both the international reach of Maltese creativity and the Corinthia’s own Maltese heritage. As Malta continues to grow as a major filming destination, the exhibition highlights the country’s ongoing dialogue with global cinema.
“Lorenzo Agius has captured the faces that have defined an era,” Vella said. “His images are timeless, and this exhibition offers a rare chance to experience them in a setting that unites Maltese craftsmanship, British creativity and cinematic heritage.”
The exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Maltese High Commission in London and Visit Malta. The BAFTA Awards awards ceremony will be held on February 22.
