Replace 'page' with the name of your document.
\setuplayout[page]
\starttext
\getfiguredimensions[pages]
\dorecurse\noffigurepages
{\hbox to \textwidth
{\ifodd\recurselevel
\hskip-2cm\externalfigure[pages][page=\recurselevel]\hss
\else
\hskip-1cm\externalfigure[pages][page=\recurselevel]\hss
\fi}}
\stoptext
