Gingham Studies, 2018–2019
Archival Release
This edition release is now closed.
Gingham Studies, 2018–2019 brings together staged still life photographs by Mishele, centred on a recurring red gingham surface. Drawn from the visual memory of family tables, neighbourhood cafés and domestic rituals across Lebanon and Italy, the gingham becomes a mnemonic ground: familiar and comforting, yet subtly estranged.
Across the series, food, flowers, glassware, mirrors, wigs, screens and bodily fragments are arranged through a language of domestic surrealism. An egg shifts through the refraction of water; a meal becomes an erotic sign; synthetic hair and living tulips exchange the codes of beauty; a digital image occupies the place of food. Humour, appetite, sexuality and speculative unease enter the remembered table, allowing the familiar to become uncanny without losing its intimacy.
Explore the Gingham Studies project and Mishele’s artistic practice.
Following the series’ public intervention across Mexico City, this archival release presents five works from Gingham Studies as limited edition photographs. Each is produced at 50 × 40 cm as an archival pigment print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta 315 gsm, in an edition of ten plus one artist’s proof. Every print is hand-signed and individually numbered by Mishele and issued with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Selected works from the series also exist as larger format Collector Editions, offered separately through private placement. The Photographic and Collector Editions are independently sized, numbered, priced and documented; neither tier draws from the edition count of the other. Full production specifications and current availability are listed on each individual edition page.
Framed installation images are shown for presentation and scale only.
All editions in this release are supplied unframed unless otherwise stated. The release closes on 1 October 2026, after which any remaining editions will be withdrawn from public sale.
