Per Jonas' Individual Norm
1988-1992 +2021.
All of the PJINs are based on my personal sizes: length, biceps, intelligence, potency, and so on. In the beginning, PJIN was an indicator to mark an art event or a work of art, developed together with British artist Michael Maximillian Collins. Later, it became a mainly photographic project, showing PJIN in different performances. Finally, it transformed into furniture: tables, chairs, and lamps.
