YUKI ONODERA
Born in Tokyo in 1962, Yuki Onodera has been based in Paris since 1993. She is known for her experimental approach to photography, which includes putting marbles in her camera to disperse the light and create eerie, floating white spheres. The narrative elements of her practice, meanwhile, are often inspired by historical incidents and legends. Measuring over two meters long, her mixed-media silver halide photographs, which she prints herself before applying oil paint onto them, bear the imprint of her own hands, overturning the notion of photography as a mechanical process. This is Onodera’s first solo exhibition at waitingroom.

Waitingroom was founded in Tokyo in 2010 with a mission to promote and support cutting-edge contemporary art in various mediums. The gallery works with young and emerging artists who have distinct perspectives on the world and explore new and diverse modes of expression. The program focuses on the role of human beings in postindustrial society, encompassing topics ranging from social engagement to our relationship with nature, from cultural heritage to the dreams and fantasies that help us keep faith in the world. Reflecting the appeal of these themes, Waitingroom’s artists frequently exhibit across Japan as well as in international galleries, museums, biennials, triennials, and other venues. Beyond exhibitions, Waitingroom supports artistic creation by organizing lectures and workshops that stimulate discourse. The gallery aims to inspire the world by building positive relationships between artists and audiences.
