Joan Jonas : good night good morning

When the portable video camera became available in the late 1960s, Joan Jonas was one of the first artists to explore its meaning as a technology capable of capturing the fleeting moment of a live performance, and to explore ways to fashion herself into a subject for it. Over her five-decade career, Jonas has continued to draw on these early investigations, translating them into different mediums, combining performance, video, and objects into artworks that defy categorization.
