| book description |

Experience the powerful work of Ana Mendieta, a groundbreaking feminist artist known for her earth-body ephemeral sculptures. Active between 1972 and 1985, Ana Mendieta was a highly influential feminist artist who created groundbreaking work across photography, film, earth work, drawing, installation and performance. Widely celebrated for her Silueta series, which outlines the artist's own body in the landscape using earth, fire, water, flowers and other materials, Mendieta documented such ephemeral, temporary works using still photography and film. This monograph, published to accompany the first major exhibition of Mendieta’s work in the UK in over a decade, showcases such works across over 200 expertly reproduced images. Essays by contributors such as Chuz Martinez, Ida Panicelli and Maria Elena Ortiz delve deeper into individual artworks, including rare paintings from the beginning of Mendieta’s career (De Pelicula, 1969), ephemeral sculptures (Sandwoman series), and the seminal Atabey (Mother of the Waters) made in the early 1980s, which saw the artist working alongside the soft limestone walls of caves outside Havana.
