Percept Op. 19, Switzerland, 2020
The ’Percept’ series of abstract impressionist photographs has been our window onto the poetry of the void. A relentless quest for the light it holds and the hidden hues it reveals.
Onoko wants to make a plea for the imaginary through each of its creations. For their main photographic series, 'Percept', Manon and François press the shutter when an atmosphere overwhelms their soul, already obscuring anything figurative that would make the shots trivial. For them, we witness the formless soul of the void which is in essence, light, color and sound. The subsequently unedited images, which consist solely of complex color degradations, nevertheless exhibit a great sensitivity to atmosphere and its composition.
