The Role of Performance in Environmental Humanities: The Case of Joan Jonas’s Moving Off the Land II
Abstract
This article explores the role of performance in Environmental Humanities by discussing Joan Jonas’s staging of Moving Off The Land II at Ocean Space in Venice as a case study. More specifically, the article shows that Moving Off The Land II and Ocean Space have created a space in which to practice environmental art illustrating how co-habiting ecosystems that we regularly fail to acknowledge should form part of how we construct our own presence.
