Yoko Ono was a conceptual and performance artist with her roots in the Fluxus movement who was part of atonal avant garde on the margins of in rock music. Her work spans music, performance, writing, painting, installation and sculpture.
A recent work, Imagine Peace Tower, was envisioned in 1967 by Ono as a sort of conceptual “light house”. The monument, now located on Videy island, near Reykjavik is comprised of a large, cylindrical “wishing well” structure adorned with the phrase “Imagine Peace” in 24 languages that projects intense beams of light skyward to form a temporary “virtual structure” similar to the memorial twin towers of light once projected at Ground Zero in New York.
An earlier work, Greenfield Morning (I pushed a Baby Carriage All Over the City) from the 1970's Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band.
I'm interested in the way that Yoko Ono used photography in her art. My starting point is Yoko Ono on Fickr and this Artwork set. The approach to photography is conceptual, and so focuses on the way that we relate to photographs.
