PARIS.- For its spring 2026 exhibition Galerie Miranda presents a solo show of still-life works by Chicago-based artist Laura Letinsky. For over 30 years, the work of Laura Letinsky has consistently investigated what defines a photograph. In A pleasure in solid objects and scraps of useless information, Letinsky employs and combines historical and modern photographic processes to create images that challenge and elude predefined notions of spatial and temporal organisation: iPhone images printed as tintypes, one of the earliest photographic processes, digital pigment prints on paper and dye sublimation prints made on aluminum.

The series Who Loves the Sun was initiated during the artist's 2023 residency at the Dora Maar House in Ménerbes, France. For their composition, Letinsky incorporated her own and borrowed objects, including ceramics and glassware from Dora Maar’s home, alongside local flora, fruit, and found remnants left by previous artists-in-residence. As in her previous work, Letinsky’s carefully constructed still-lifes evoke the passage of time, with hints of decay and change conspiring with the beauty of the compositions.

Her emblematic still-life series Ill Form & Void Full reinterprets and collages references existing photographs found in lifestyle and home decorating magazines as well as the artist’s old work, the art of friends and actual objects. Her compositions are rooted in the historical exploration of seventeenth century still life painting and feature subject matter akin to that of a classical Dutch still life wherein the fruit was devoured, the wine consumed and the flowers wilting. Through photographing objects and spaces that have been touched, devoured, or discarded, Letinsky explores the intimate tensions and banality of contemporary domestic life. Laura Letinsky also designs ceramic and textile arts and tableware under the brand Molosco.

The artist’s latest series of works, That What Can’t Be, features snapshots taken with her iPhone - abstract compositions and still-lifes of domestic disorder - are printed as tintypes, lending a reflective and silvery quality to the images.

Laura Letinsky's delicate and resolutely contemporary still-lifes will be presented at Galerie Miranda alongside a selection of iconic and previously unseen pieces from the Parisian design house Tsé & Tsé Associées, whose style blends humour, elegance, and artisanal craftsmanship. Laura Letinsky's focus on everyday objects resonates with that of Sigolène Prébois, co-founder of Tsé & Tsé, naturally uniting their worlds for this exhibition. Produced in small series by select artisans in France and Europe, Tsé & Tsé creations perpetuate exceptional craftsmanship, balancing simple beauty with understated luxury. Their instantly recognizeable signature has captivated figures such as Charlotte Perriand, who enthusiastically praised the creation of the April Vase. Today, their objects have become timeless and emblematic pieces.
