Corpus Naturae, Tomaso Binga and María Ángeles Vila Tortosa
What happens when two visionary women artists from different generations explore the deep, symbolic ties between the human body and the natural world?
Corpus Naturae is a poetic and provocative art book that brings together the works of Italian artist Tomaso Binga and Spanish artist María Ángeles Vila Tortosa. Through an intergenerational dialogue, the book explores the language of plants, the sacredness of nature, and the intimate connection between women’s bodies and the Earth. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at Mattatoio in Rome, this bilingual edition (Italian/English) invites readers to reflect on biocentrism, feminism, and the cycles of life.
Book Overview:
- Genre: Contemporary Art, Feminist Art, Botanical Art, Art Theory
- Themes: Nature and the feminine, biocentrism, body and language, intergenerational dialogue, ecofeminism
- Format: Illustrated art book with full-color and black-and-white images
The book challenges patriarchal and anthropocentric views of modernity, offering instead a cyclical, nature-centered vision of existence. Binga’s typographic body art and Vila Tortosa’s monumental botanical prints create a visual and conceptual conversation that reclaims the body and the Earth as sacred, interconnected spaces.

About the author(s):
Tomaso Binga (born Bianca Pucciarelli Menna, 1931) is a renowned Italian artist known for her feminist performance and visual poetry. Her work often uses the female body as a medium of language and resistance, challenging traditional gender roles and artistic norms.
María Ángeles Vila Tortosa (born 1978) is a Spanish artist whose work focuses on the symbolic and healing power of plants. Through printmaking and installation, she explores the domestic and spiritual roles of flora in human life, particularly in relation to women’s experiences.
