The article discusses the first Australian exhibition of American artist Joan Jonas at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts. Jonas's multidisciplinary practice combines audio, video, performance, drawing, and sculpture to explore her sense of self and the time and space she inhabits. The exhibition showcases a selection of Jonas's single-channel, black-and-white videos from the '60s and '70s, which prompt viewers to reconsider their perspectives. The article highlights specific videos and their themes, such as the routine cycle of our lives, the impermanence of existence, and the gap between what we see and hear. It also emphasizes the importance of navigating changing spaces and boundaries and encourages viewers to engage with Jonas's work for a more meaningful experience. [Extracted from the article]
