Yoko Ono: Conceptual Photography is a comprehensive collection of works by Japanese artist Yoko Ono. Published in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Fotografisk Center in Copenhagen and Konsthallen in Gothenburg in 1997, this book weaves together Ono's photographic practice spanning nearly 30 years. Following a preface by Lars Schwander, the book explores the relationship between photography and instructional texts such as "Instructions for Photographs" and "Instructions for Films," as well as works on memory and time such as "Vertical Memory" and "Horizontal Memory," and even film works and personal portraits. It clearly demonstrates that photography is not a documentary work but rather an act of evoking thought. Rather than being complete works, the images function as devices that emerge only through the viewer's consciousness, reexamining the role of the photographic medium itself. This is an important volume that repositions Ono's photographs as conceptual art practice, rather than simply relegating them to a field in the history of photography.
