In the Milan exhibition ‘Miranda July: New Society’, at Fondazione Prada earlier in 2024, there was a short blond wig hung up on the wall, which July had purchased when she was a struggling artist working as a stripper for extra money in her twenties. There was no mention of it, but it was displayed as one of the costumes from her performance Love Diamond. However, that object’s journey from a peep show in 1990s Portland, Oregon, to a major solo exhibition in Milan felt like a fitting microcosm of the show.
