IN MIMESIS, NUNZIO PACI TAKES THE TYPICALLY CLINICAL STUDY OF HUMAN AND ANIMAL ANATOMY, REMOVES IT FROM COLDLY LAID OUT TEXTBOOKS AND NEATLY-LABELED DIAGRAMS AND REINTRODUCES DISCOMFORT, IMBUING IT WITH CONTEXT SURPASSING THE LIVED EXPERIENCE OF THE ONCE LIVING AND BREATHING HUMAN BEING. EXPOSING THE MECHANISMS THAT OPERATE US, MUSCLE FIBERS, STRAINING LIGAMENTS, AND STURDY BONES, IT IS A FRESH REMINDER OF LIFE’S PERPETUAL STRUGGLE—AN ONGOING PRODUCT OF BILLIONS OF YEARS OF GENERATION AND REGENERATION.
