Japanese artist and photographer Makoto Oono creates close-up still-life photographs that beguile and confuse in equal measure. His projects are inspired by his travels across Asia and his fascination for local produce and species, as evidenced in this exclusive print for Elephant Kiosk (photographed here by Oono). The scene combines bulbs, jewel fish and strawberries bought in a Hong Kong market in 2020. They are juxtaposed with the artificial objects found in his hotel room (a safe, a comb) creating a new kind of visual vernacular for the contemporary city. Purchase the print here.
