Jonas Mekas, key figure in New York’s avant-garde cinema, left behind a filmic legacy that he uniquely embodies. From his arrival as a Lithuanian immigrant to his death, he remained inseparable from his camera. His cinematic diaries offer a critical counter to the dominant ideologies of the 20th century, revealing that the so-called ordinary is not self-evident but requires sensory engagement.
