In ‘Tales & Tellers’, interdisciplinary artist Goshka Macuga reinterprets Miu Miu’s Women’s Tales film series for Art Basel Paris 2024’s public programme, putting the films into today’s context alongside Elvira Dyangani Osestaged.
Currently staged at Palais D’Iéna with Rem Koolhaas’ OMA, the first commission in the Women’s Tales series was The Powder Room by Zoe Cassavetes, shot in 2011, while the most recent, Laura Citarella’s El Affaire Miu Miu, was released last month. Miu Miu has commissioned 28 films in total, by directors including Agnès Varda, Miranda July, Naomi Kawase and Chloë Sevigny. The films all feature clothing by the brand, but they also show a wide swathe of female viewpoints from around the world, drawing on a variety of women’s experiences. They communicate messages from the direct to the esoteric, featuring the fashion but putting the filmmaking first.
