Tara Tamaribuchi finds herself in an organic and unfolding practice, that in its most basic sense investigates human life experience. Working across mediums, from spatial installation and public art to projection and social practice, she builds layered structures of visual, material and sometimes sonic and vibratory senses, to create spaces for the viewer. Her perspective is influenced by Buddhist thinking, particularly around attachments and impermanence, and the liminal diasporic state of consciousness (as defined by Homi Bhabha). Specific projects have delved into impermanence in parenting, connecting Japanese American incarceration experience to incarceration in the US today, memorializing Gen-X rave and club culture, and questioning the norms of colonial collections of material culture in “the West.”
