Much of Joan Jonas' video and other artwork seems like something that you would see if you had a very bad nightmare about humans with animal heads. Either that or if had a very bad acid trip and started seeing mirrors with peoples' distorted faces, a person with a horse head, a woman with a skull mask and other such pictures that would otherwise freak you out. The above image actually reminds me of The Shining by Stephen King, when it talks about the man in the dog suit who is giving oral sex to the other guy, much like the above image, it seemed like a nightmare from how Stephen King wrote that scene and from a lot of Joan Jonas' stuff it just seems like she's gone crazy and has a fetish for people dressed up as animals.
