Ana Mendieta's Visceral, 'Neolithic' Work in a Major Survey at Tate Modern

Art

Ana Mendieta's interdisciplinary practice merges photography, land art, sculpture, and film. Her Silueta Series impresses the human body's shape into natural elements, creating haunting traces of presence and absence. This Tate survey presents over 120 pieces, revealing her urgent dialogue with the earth.

Mendieta's 'earth-body' works delve into ecofeminism and personal displacement. She described her art as a return to the maternal source, using materials for their emotional rather than formal qualities. The exhibition highlights her timeless exploration of connection and alienation from nature.
