Joan Jonas is an American artist born in 1936 who pioneered video art and performance as primary media in the 1970s. Working across video, sculpture, and live performance, she constructs layered narratives that blend ritualistic gesture, found objects, and projected imagery. Her practice treats the body and domestic space as material sites for investigation rather than representation.
