Laura Letinsky bridges digital and anachronistic in new still-life works at Galerie Miranda
Galerie Miranda has launched a solo exhibition featuring the intricate still-life creations of Chicago artist Laura Letinsky, set for spring 2026. Throughout her 30-year career, Letinsky has delved into the essence of photography. In her show titled 'A pleasure in solid objects and scraps of useless information,' she merges both historical and contemporary photographic techniques, including iPhone images transformed into tintypes, digital pigment prints on paper, and dye sublimation prints on aluminum. Her newest series, 'That What Can’t Be,' showcases iPhone snapshots that capture abstract arrangements and domestic chaos, printed as tintypes that reflect a silvery sheen. These personal images, displayed on a mirror-like surface, invite contemplation and a sense of timelessness.
