The artwork, titled “Ana Mendieta 6 600×408”, was created by Ana Mendieta in 1972. It is part of the “Glass on Body Imprints” series and exemplifies the Feminist Art and Performance Art movements. The medium used is glass, and the genre of the artwork is both photographic and performative in nature.
The artwork comprises four distinct photographic images depicting a female figure pressing her body against glass. The images provide varying perspectives of the body, showcasing the tension and deformation caused by the contact with the glass. This series of imprints highlights both the physicality and vulnerability of the human form, reflecting themes central to Feminist Art and Performance Art. The manipulation of glass against flesh conveys a powerful commentary on body image and identity.
