ENDLESS INCANTATIONS

Lux Miranda’s first solo exhibition in Paris, ENDLESS INCANTATIONS, on view from January 8 to February 21, 2026. The exhibition brings together recent works, ranging from the artist’s well-known wool tapestries to a series of previously unseen metal sculptures. ENDLESS INCANTATIONS unfolds as an immersive environment that invites meditative contemplation of abstraction as a political refuge —detached from the noise of the world and transcending both desire and fear. With deliberate syncretism and by appropriating the so-called “minor” arts, Lux Miranda conquers the field of digression and invests the territory of abstraction. What is at stake is the formulation of a complex queer imagination that refuses the immediacy of the message, transcends anger, and detaches itself from desire. Abstraction becomes a refuge, a poetic space in which to survive the thunderous noise of the world. A space of distraction where “this new world” evoked by Monique Wittig could begin. (...) The materiality of the works is not a trivial detail. Lux Miranda seeks a physical relationship with the pieces while keeping us at a distance. She confronts us with our binary reading of the world, bringing together the warm, domestic, absorbent wool with the cold, industrial, reflective metal. More than an opposition, it is the experience of a large, interdependent whole, a single incantation that repeats itself and resonates each time in the material differently. Where the tapestries are studded with spikes and reveal their adversity, the metal pieces unfold their sensuality through the work of iridescence on their surfaces. “Dark and truly sparkling, that is to say desirable,” says Romain Noel, in a reflection on obscurity as a path to emancipation and survival, which finds a particular echo in Lux Miranda’s creative process.
