"Le plaisir d’objets solides et de bribes d’informations inutiles"

For its Spring 2026 exhibition, Galerie Miranda presents a solo exhibition of still lifes by Chicago-based artist Laura Letinsky. For over 30 years, Letinsky’s work has relentlessly explored the very definition of photography. In “A pleasure in solid objects and scraps of useless information,” Letinsky photographs objects and spaces that have been touched, consumed, or discarded, exploring the intimate tensions and banality of contemporary domestic life. She employs and combines historical and modern photographic processes to create images that challenge and subvert preconceived notions of spatial and temporal organization: images taken with an iPhone and printed using ferrotype (an early photographic process), pigment prints from paper collages, and dye-sublimation prints on aluminum.
Laura Letinsky (born in 1962 in Canada) graduated from the University of Manitoba (1986) and the Yale School of Art (1991). She is a professor in the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Chicago. Her works are included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Art Institute of Chicago, the Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), and the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, to name a few.
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 associés, whose style blends humor, elegance, and artisanal craftsmanship. Laura Letinsky’s focus on everyday objects resonates with that of Sigolène Prébois, co-founder of Tsé & Tsé, naturally bringing their worlds together for this exhibition.
The gallery
Based in Paris since 1995, Miranda Salt, Franco-Australian, founded Galerie Miranda in 2018 in the 10th arrondissement. Specializing in photography, the gallery showcases internationally renowned artists in their home countries who are rarely exhibited in Europe; often, but not exclusively, women. Inaugurated on March 8, 2018, to coincide with International Women's Day, the gallery launched its program with a series of solo exhibitions by acclaimed female artists such as Jo Ann Callis, Nancy Wilson-Pajic, Ellen Carey, and Merry Alpern. Also a bookstore, Galerie Miranda offers a carefully curated selection of books on photography, in both French and English. The gallery participates in art fairs and develops pop-up projects in France and abroad.
