Joan Jonas: Mirror Piece I & II
2024, MoMA
In the late 1960s, Joan Jonas’s early performances utilized mirrors as props for transforming the perception of space and as devices for exploring representation, doubling, and the hierarchies of gender. Mirror Piece I & II (1969/2024) reprises Jonas’s groundbreaking early Mirror Piece works, updated and reconstructed from the notes and photographs of Mirror Piece I (1969) and Mirror Piece II (1970).
