All living organisms purchased and captured on the Internet are dropped on a daily life. Makoto Oono uses a variety of places, including animals, plants, fruits, fish, insects, everywhere as a test site, and is temporarily inserted until the end of photo shooting. The living organisms, which is the key element to this process, moves in an unpredictable way that makes us human beings anxious. By arranging some mysterious artifacts into the composition to add an extreme “unbalance” of the meaning of what these components are, this could no longer be identifiable as “what this picture is”. For this reason, the seemingly completed photo holds a harmony of chaos and disruption, which then becomes further complex in multilayers when it collectively becomes book and exhibition.

This work is "collection of traps" named "SEPARATE HIDDEN RULES" . The audience is held captive with the organism in the cage(page or gallery), driving them be confused and shattering their imagination. The title was inspired by a surprising discovery of how the living organisms have a hidden will and a programmed gene that has a direction that moves freely. Every subject has a name, but it could be said that that is the word that unravels the subject itself. His unique approach shows the possibilities of nature photos in modern cities and drawing out the barbaric beautiful space.
