PERFORM! 2025 | Joan Jonas: Mirror Piece I&II

Film

Such an unforgettable moment: during @berlinartweek, Joan Jonas’ iconic Mirror Piece I & II transformed the terrace of Neue Nationalgalerie as part of our performance festival PERFORM!. With mirrors and plexiglass, the performance opened up space and perception—fracturing the audience’s image and dissolving the line between performer and viewer. We are grateful to everyone who joined us for this unique experience!

Special thanks to movement direction: Nefeli Skarmea & @hwanhee_j_o_y and the performers: Caroline Beach, Jennie Boultbee, Florencia Martina, Tatiana Mejía, Mica Kupfer, YeoJin Kim, Mila Nhu-Nhien Horst, Zeina Hanna, Ana Libório, Narin Mohammadi, Obitse Omagbeni, Kareth Schaffer, Benca Ungvari, Tim Winter, Betül Yildirim and to The American Academy in Berlin for making this possible.
