The story

What Is Left Side, Right Side About?

The premise of Left Side, Right Side without spoilers.

In this early work Jonas adapts her performance practice to video, using the medium’s immediacy and intimacy to probe self, body, and identity. She confronts the viewer directly, treating video as both mirror and mask, and splits her image to create spatial ambiguities between reversed (mirror) and unreversed (video) surfaces. Though formally reductive, the piece’s ironic theatricality highlights video’s phenomenology as a reflective, masking device.
