Blood and Feathers by Anna Mendieta

Blood and Feathers is an experimental video which is being displayed at the Tate Modern. The film doesnt have a clear storyline or any speech. It starts with a woman standing naked infront of a lake, she pours blood all over her body and then rolls on the ground in feathers. The feathers stick to her and then it ends with her standing there covered in feathers.

The piece didnt envolve much craft and I think it was concept driven. To me the concept was of wanting to be free, because feathers obviously represent birds and flying, and flying to me represents freedom.
