Last Projects presents Soft Sell, solo exhibition by LA-based artist Kayla Tange. Working across video, sculpture, installation, and performance, Tange explores power, bodily autonomy, and the hidden costs of survival. Her practice draws on her experience as a Korean adoptee, sex worker, and chronically ill person to reclaim histories of loss, labor, and transformation. This is Tange’s first solo exhibition.
Ceramic pasties, soft sculptures from discarded costumes, and sky-high ceramic heels reimagine performance remnants as altars—objects that hold both vulnerability and defiance. By using materials that honor the limits of her body, Tange transforms markers of exploitation into sites of reclamation, resisting the commodification of bodies under systems that disguise coercion as care.
At once intimate and confrontational, Soft Sell reveals how survival becomes aesthetic, and how transformation can emerge from accumulation, grief, and persistence.
