Academy Museum Sets Bong Joon Ho and ‘Barbie to Anna Karenina: The Cinematic Worlds of Sarah Greenwood and Katie Spencer’ Exhibitions for 2025
AMPAS announced a 2025 exhibition dedicated to director Bong Joon Ho, alongside a design exhibition featuring the team behind Barbie.
Whether set in 1980s Korea or an imagined future time and space, Bong Joon Ho’s films address issues that are transnational and universal: class disparity, social injustice, the environmental crisis, and political and moral corruption. From his earliest short films to his international breakthrough, The Host(2006), through the Oscar-winning Parasite(2019), Bong Joon Ho’s work defies simple categorization, embedding social critique into deeply humorous, unexpected, and thought-provoking stories. The exhibition explores how Greenwood and Spencer develop the overall look and visual concept of a movie, and how they collaborate to create unique environments and settings that convey time, place, and character.
