What we do ?
At Orion57, we create unique, museum-quality photography exhibitions that resonate globally. With a network that spans five continents, we've fostered strong, lasting relationships with museums, foundations, and private partners. Each collaboration is uniquely tailored to meet the specific needs of the institution, ensuring flexibility and impact. Whether independently producing exhibitions and taking them on tour or working closely with museums to co-create shows on specific themes, we deliver excellence at every stage.
From the printing and mounting of photographs to insurance, transportation, installation, and promotion, Orion57 meticulously oversees every detail. We draw on an extensive network of experts—curators, writers, architects, printers, and lighting designers—who contribute their unique skills to elevate each project. Our exhibitions are often adapted to reflect the local context, ensuring that every show resonates deeply with its audience, enhancing its cultural significance.
Throughout the tour, our curators play a key role in press events, opening ceremonies, and public programs. They frequently give lectures and participate in symposia, creating enriching experiences that deepen the connection between the exhibition and its audience.
Orion57 specializes in documentaries focused on the world of art, while also developing cultural, commercial, and communication projects for some of the most renowned photographers worldwide. Orion 57 explores photographic and video experiments with artificial intelligence and publishes monographs, catalogs, and books dedicated to the field of photography.
