Joanna Bonder

Creative output of Joanna Bonder (born in 1987) is formally linked to popular idea of conceptuality, however themes are within several different areas. One of the them is popular image of deconstruction and reflecting upon perception of modern human. Another area, which is explored by Joanna is mortality, time passing, memory and even occultism and mysticism which are not as popular among new media artists. (…)

(…) In her videos, there is a strive to analyse human perception and to break the habits of new media viewers’. This specific insight into surrounding images is made by means of contrary method: if it is the mass culture that uses images in order to hold viewers in thrall for the purpose of mass consumption by means of sharp cut fast video editing, then Bonder is the one who uses the same medium in to reflect consciously upon its nature. I could even be asserted that the author jeopardizes human perception in general, stating for modern neurobiology and science, that our perception is only a creation of mind.
