Artist Statement

 

"Ono creates installations, photographs, and films that investigate the transience of nature and human life. He endeavors to rediscover the questions of existence and culture by engaging with poetry, science, history, and philosophy, with a motive to recognize the shared nature of being a human inhabiting the Earth. During his decade of filming Asia as a news cameraman, Ono witnessed the rapid decay of stories and images, as well as the role of society and the media in suppressing certain narratives. He creates his work in response to this past experience as a journalist. His practice of exploring geopoetics does not disconnect the artist from the socio-political enigmas the world faces. Ono states that imagining a future requires a change in dimension and perspective. Thus, he views the planetary perspective as a means to generate a shared understanding of the world and empower ourselves for greater planetary cooperation. Ono believes the artists must carefully observe the world; in all its absurdity, cruelty and uncertainty. And must strive to build an emotional bridge with the other, deliver their views, their ideas and their human warmth, with honesty, more sensitivity, more justice and more empathy.
