Ana Mendieta
Fuego de Tierra
1987, 52 minutes, Color/BW, VHS
Order No. W99249
This beautiful video is a portrait of the life and work of Cuban-born American artist Ana Mendieta. Mendieta used her own body, the raw materials of nature, and Afro-Cuban religion to express her feminist political consciousness and poetic vision. Interview footage with Mendieta and her own filmed records of her earthworks and performances are incorporated to render a vivid testament to her energy and extraordinary talent after her tragic, untimely death in 1985. Spanish language version available.
QUOTES
"Ana Mendieta has become an honored martyr for women in the art world, and this moving tape shows us why."
