During her too-brief career, she produced a distinctive body of work that includes drawings, installations, performances, photographs, and sculptures. Less well known is her remarkable and prolific production of films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis richly illustrated catalogue presents a series of sequential colour stills from each of twenty-one original Super 8 films that have been newly preserved and digitised in high definition for the 2015 exhibition, combined with related photographs, and reference still images from all of the artist’s 104 filmworks. Together these illustrations sample the full range of the artist’s film practice from 1971 to 1981.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book includes Mendieta’s first published comprehensive filmography resulting from three years of collaborative research conducted by the Estate of Ana Mendieta Collection and the University of Minnesota, as well as original essays by John Perreault, Michael Rush, Rachel Weiss, Lynn Lukkas, Raquel Cecilia Mendieta, and Laura Wertheim Joseph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first book-length treatment of Mendieta’s moving-image practice, \u003ci\u003eCovered in Time and History\u003c\/i\u003e aims to locate her films centrally within her larger oeuvre and at the forefront of the multidisciplinary shifts that characterised visual arts practice during the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in association with the Katherine E.
