In this early work, Jonas translates her performance strategies
into video, applying the inherent properties of the medium to
her investigations of the self and the body. Jonas performs in
a direct, one-on-one confrontation with the viewer, using the
immediacy and intimacy of video as conceptual construct. Creating
a series of inversions, she splits the video screen, and splits
her identification within the video space, playing with the spatial
ambiguity of non-reversed images (video) and reversed images (mirrors).
Illustrating the phenomenology of video as a mirror, Left Side
Right Side is a classic of early performance-based, conceptual
video. |
