Ana Mendieta
Untitled, 1972/2020Suite of six black and white photographs
Through an action that is revealed in a set of six photos taken in 1972, Mendieta takes us to what could be understood as a preceding action of her first Silueta works. Seen together, this set testifies the use of her body as her primary medium in a very early stage of her career and discloses a sustained interest in various female archetypes and the cycles of nature and life.
