Synopsis
FRIDA EN EL ESPEJO/FRIDA IN THE MIRROR demonstrates the diversity, power and tenderness of women by honoring the legendary figure of Frida Kahlo. Twenty women dressed like Frida, a woman who revolutionized the concept of pain in modern art were filmed and edited in one day.
The video is an independent production of the visual artist and poet Adrian Arias. FRIDA EN EL ESPEJO/FRIDA IN THE MIRROR was recorded on August 2nd 2008, at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts as part of the "Frida Was Here Day" in San Franciscos Mission District and also exhibited as part of the installation "Frida on Paper".
