Chloë Sevigny, Eva Duvarnay, Agnes Varda, and Miranda July are just a few of the talents who have been commissioned by Miu Miu to produce short films for its series “Women’s Tales.” Fifteen years after the series’ launch, the fashion brand is expanding its involvement in the arts with the traveling “Tales & Tellers” exhibition. A collaboration between Miu Miu creative director Miuccia Prada and the interdisciplinary artist Goshka Macuga, it celebrates both the film series and the artists who have contributed to the production of Miu Miu’s biannual runway shows since 2022. For the project’s first chapter, Macuga transformed the Palais d’Iéna, in Paris, into a sanitized warehouse. Each film from “Women’s Tales” was screened on televisions scattered throughout the space, their stories brought to life by more than 30 actors performing the shorts live. Far from the stately grandeur of the Palais d’Iéna, New York’s Terminal Warehouse has required a reimagining of the installation. “There’s a sense of mystery and tension in this version, shaped by the city’s unique rhythm and contradictions,” says Macuga. While public space, storytelling, and collective memory remain integral, this iteration turns inward, finding a more introspective space between the real and the imagined. —Jeanne Malle
