In 2012 we followed her work on her latest installation and performance, "Reanimation" which she created for the dOCUMENTA(13) art exhibition in Kassel, Germany. Inspired by the novel "Under the Glacier" by the Icelandic writer Halldór Laxness, Jonas created a video installation piece, mixing footage of a trip to Norway, text, drawings, props, and reanimated videos from her previous work. Pairing her imagery with the music of Jazz pianist, Jason Moran, who Jonas has collaborated with on past projects, the artist creates a unique space of sound and scenery. Throughout the film, the artist also offers insights into her inspirations and her early work including "Wind", "Organic Honey", "Volcano Saga" and "The Shape, The Scent, The Feel of Things".
