While she is known for her performance art, she used a variety of mediums in her work, including:
* Earthworks: Mendieta often used natural materials like earth, blood, and her own body to create sculptures in the landscape. These works were often ephemeral and meant to interact with the environment.
* Photography: She documented her performances and earthworks through photography, making these works accessible to a wider audience.
* Film: She also made experimental films that explored themes of identity, sexuality, and violence.
It is important to note that "Mendieta" is a surname, and Ana Mendieta was not creating a specific kind of "Mendieta."
