Throughout her career, Laura Letinsky has explored the fundamental nature of photography and its relationship to reality. Her large-scale still life photographs, often featuring remnants of meals or parties, invite contemplation on perception and the transformative power of the photographic image.
‍
During this unique afternoon, you will have the special opportunity to explore Laura's studio and engage with the artist directly, gaining deeper insights into her work through conversations with the DOCUMENT team and Laura herself. Following the studio visit, enjoy a delightful lunch of artful bites served on Laura's own beautifully designed porcelain dining ware. The grazing table, curated by TXA TXA Club, will evoke an aesthetic reminiscence of what one might encounter if they stepped into one of Laura's photographs!
