Mouths and Masks (1969): Cast

In this 1969 experimental film, the artist begins her exploration of the mouth motif that would later dominate her ‘Opening’ exhibit of 1973. She kisses a mirror, applies lipstick, becomes a white statue with blood‑red lips, transforms into a mask in a warped reflection, and finally circles her face with light, merging completely into the mask.
