The “human body” is “absent” in the artist’s artwork related to the human body, and the artist uses relatively more metaphorical techniques to replace direct representations of the body, such as the handprints in Skin With O’hara Poem (1963\/5).

If you are at Dulles Airport in Virginia, the USA in November 2014, you will have the opportunity to see an amazing exhibition. The exhibit, entitled Life: Magnified on the walls, is organized by the Institute of Integrative Medical Sciences, the American Society for Cell Biology and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Arts Program. It shows scientific images of cells and other life scenes magnified 50,000 times, and visitors are immersed in an incredible and magical world. When I saw the brightly colored computer-rendered images, I couldn’t help but think that this is also a modern expression of life, of humanity.
