Meditation on the disappearance of the human body has strongly marked the artistic practice of Kara Tanaka, the 27-year-old American artist living and working in Los Angeles, and exhibiting in Europe for the first time. The loss, destruction, and denial of the body enable a shift in the focus of vital energy from bodily demands toward a more metaphysical end.

The missing bodies of A Sad Bit of Fruit, Pickled in the Vinegar of Grief, created for Collezione Maramotti, speak of the rejection of immortality, a desire whose ever-present aspiration has permeated Western culture, now declining and experiencing a deep crisis.
