Polish Fashion Stories: Goshka Macuga – Art of Reframing

From sculpture and tapestry to performance and installation, Macuga's work compels us to ask: what does it mean to look, to know, to understand? Read more about the investigative spirit at the heart of Macuga’s practice on Polish Fashion Stories.

Few artists challenge the viewer quite like Goshka Macuga. Her exhibitions don’t offer immediate answers or easy narratives. Instead, they unfold like puzzles, asking you to lean in, read between the lines, and return with new questions.

Born in Poland and based in London, Macuga was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2008 and has since established herself as one of the most thought-provoking voices in contemporary art. Her process is deeply intellectual, and the outcomes often demand the same level of engagement from the viewer as Macuga demands from herself…

…Last autumn, Goshka Macuga’s name landed firmly on the fashion radar. She was invited by Miuccia Prada to design the show space for Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2025 presentation, Salt Looks Like Sugar—becoming only the seventh artist entrusted with this role. Though Macuga had previously collaborated with Miuccia through Fondazione Prada, curating numerous exhibitions such as the thrilling “To the Son of Man Who Ate the Scroll” , this marked her first time envisioning a live fashion show.
