And Smile...

Having seen the feature on Yoko Ono in the new issue of Vogue, it was difficult to believe from the photographs that she’s 79 years old. No cellulite, very few wrinkles, toned and super-trim.

 (hmmmm …. note to self ….. lay off the wine and sunbathing…)

But even more surprising is the success of her simple concept installation within her latest exhibition, currently running at the Serpentine Gallery in London. The main exhibition itself, as you might expect, is Yoko’s amalgam of artistic opinions from the past 5 decades, challenging us to think, question and justify.

However, #smilesfilm simply asks each individual to smile/grin/smirk/smooch to the lens, and then the images run on a continuous loop, infecting even the grumpiest visitor.

 Go on, go on, go on Yoko. Please bring it to Edinburgh. Make us smile on this rainy day.

 Say CHEESE……
