SiluetaSilueta
Synopsis:
Silueta is inspired by the true story of Ana Mendieta, a Cuban- American performance artist and sculptor, whose life ended in a harrowing 34-story fall from the SoHo apartment she shared with her husband, Minimalist sculptor, Carl Andre. Ana, 36 at the time of her death in 1985, was a rising star in the SoHo art scene, known for her signature 'siluetas' -- provocative impressions of her naked body in blood, earth, fire. Carl, already famous as a founding father of Minimalism, was past the peak of his career. It was a marriage of opposing artistic temperaments, fueled by ferocious ego and ambition. Due to the emotional violence of their relationship and Carl's enigmatic behavior following Ana's death, he was accused and tried for her murder. Although there is much speculation about what actually happened that terrible night, only Carl, now an old man still living in that same 34-floor apartment, really knows. Carl is desperate to recover artistic potency, but blocked by a past he is unwilling to face. He is haunted by the passionately 'real' ghost of Ana, equally desperate to discover the truth of her death and, more importantly, the truth of her life and Carl's love.
