SEPARATE HIDDEN RULES

Makoto Oono uses a variety of places, including animals, plants, fruits, fish, insects, everywhere as a test site, and is temporarily inserted until the end of photo shooting.

By arranging some mysterious artifacts into the composition to add an extreme “unbalance” of the meaning of what these components are, this could no longer be identifiable as “what this picture is”.

"What I am interested in is an unpredictable state of photography." As an observer, Oono is watching the life changes of the living organisms in front of him from the standpoint of a photographer.

His ongoing projects are uniquely inspired by his visits to different countries in Asia where he buys and catches local creatures.

This approach shows the possibilities of photos in modern cities and is filled with both brutality and beauty simultaneously.
