Miami-born artist Ana Mendez talks about Liminal Being, her action-based performance project inspired by Maya Deren’s 1940s surrealist film Meshes of the Afternoon. In this new work, Mendez repeatedly enacted a fall up and down a flight of stairs inside Giant Motors, a former car repair shop during the Auto Body video and performance event presented during Miami Art Week 2014.
