ONO'S LONDON ODYSSEY!

Ono says ’Odyssey Of A Cockroach’ is inspired by propaganda...

YOKO ONO opened her latest art exhibition in LONDON at a star-studded party last night (February 2).

Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood and Graham Coxon joined Ono at the launch of ’Odyssey Of A Cockroach’ at the ICA East gallery.

Ono says the exhibition, which runs until March 7, is inspired by propaganda.

She revealed: "Right now we are so steeped in the psychodrama we have created, we can no longer see our reality, except through the influences of various propaganda.

"I have decided to be a cockroach for a day, and see what is happening in this city (New York) through its eyes. Since we can easily say that New York City is the cultural centre of our society, I have taken various pictures of the city’s comers and presented them from a cockroaches point of view. Through the eyes of this other strong race, we may learn the reality of what our dreams and nightmares have created."
