Imagine an earth-body performance artist born on a distant planet. This 3D animated film speculates on a world where Cuban-American artist Ana Mendieta is an extraterrestrial being with the ability to merge her body with the land. In this alternate reality, Mendieta’s journey in performance art transcends Earth, unfolding in an alien landscape where she gives birth, deeply connected to the planet’s terrain.
