Description
In Vertical Roll, Joan Jonas, a pioneer in the video art medium, employs the rolling bar, a common gliche in analogue TV, to introduce the camera to her experimental performances. For the soundtrack, Jonas bangs a spoon as she moves her body in time with the vertical strobe, creating a mesmerizing, rhythmic work.- 2020(Electronic Arts Intermix, New York, NY, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art)2020-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
