DER ROSENKÖNIG (1986)



PHOTOLOG 03

San Juan & Mexico City:

ANA MENDIETA (select works)


“Art is a material act of culture, but its greatest value is its spiritual role, and that influences society, because it’s the greatest contribution to the intellectual and moral development of humanity that can be made.”


Melding of body and environment has been a recurring concept, the inseparable, beautiful, but also violent. This thread that connects our flesh to earth, it imprints itself in every crevice of skin. As women, we are bound to the dirt (no way in a depreciating or belittling way, but in the sense that we are what shapes and forms, what gives LIFE and DEATH), our form is visible everywhere in nature, our form is beautiful, our form is violent but most importantly, it's POWERFUL. 

The emotional map that we have on our bodies is physical and spiritual, it transcends any form of language and is eternal; our emotional map is a response to our environment. 

"...I have thrown myself into the very elements that produced me, using the earth as my canvas and my soul as my tools.”


"I have been carrying on a dialogue between the landscape and the female body (based on my own silhouette) I am overwhelmed by the feeling of having been cast from the womb (nature)."

'Untitled (Body Tracks)' 1974
