Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, the late Ana Mendieta (1948–1985) created an unprecedented body of film and photographic works that documented her performance-based actions and traced the development of her “earth body” art, a hybrid form of performance art and land art. While her photographic works have been seen widely in museums and galleries since her death, her film works have been far less accessible due to the fragile nature of her Super-8 originals (each approximately 3 minutes in length). On view is a selection of key works drawn from the artist’s archive. Approximately 70 minutes.
