Gallery 360, Tokyo, Japan

From the gallery press release: " I Want You To Remember Me / Oboetete is a dramatic new installation of Yoko Ono dealing with shattered lives, loss and remembrance. Inspired by her own experiences of growing up in war-torn Japan, displacement and awareness of the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and now by the events of March 2011, Ono has created works that confront the emotions of the viewer and open up memories in each individual. The installation I Want You To Remember Me / Oboetete serves as a window through which we can project our own thoughts, and find resonance in many areas of our own minds and experiences. This is one of the great abilities of Ono’s work, which time and again she has realized in many different ways with works such as Freight Train, Ex-It, Wish Trees, Imagine Peace, and so many others."

yoko ono: das gift
Haunch of Venison, Berlin, Germany
September 10th 2010 – November 13th 2011
From the press release: "Yoko Ono’s installation consists of sculptural, sound, film, and instruction-based participatory elements, which have been conceived specifically for this exhibition. A HOLE, a fragile yet brutally forceful sculpture, is a focal point of the exhibition. It presents viewers with a pane of glass pierced by a bullet, with an instruction engraved on the glass, which reads: “GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GLASS AND SEE THROUGH THE HOLE”. Ono’s instruction encourages viewers to see from the perspective of both aggressor and victim, simultaneously engaging two opposing viewpoints. Speaking about the exhibition, Ono states: “I’’d like to draw awareness to all the violence that is happening all over the world. I ask the people who come and visit the exhibition to bring something of their own personal experience with violence: a picture, or a text, that will then be placed on the gallery wall. In the upper floor, however, there will be a room where one only smiles.” Visitor’s smiles will be included in a streaming video, on view during the exhibition."

the city's corners and presented them from a cockroach's point of view. Through
the eyes of this other strong race, we may learn the true reality of what our
dreams and nightmares have created."
