New York photographer Lina Bertucci is the focus of our second Art @ MIFF feature. Her film, 18 Beautiful Women, showcases portraits of tattooed women between the ages of 19 and 59. Her work, although highlighting the body as a canvas, ultimately demonstrates the psychological tension these women feel in expressing their truth while, at the same time, following a trend. Her film and her work can be seen as part of the Cutting Edge program on March 10th and 12th at the Miami Beach Cinematheque.
