    Lost City began for Aki Onda in the wake of 9/11. A year or so earlier, the Japanese conceptual artist had relocated to New York and found himself cast in the emotional and physical wreckage of that profound act of terrorism. He began documenting everyday objects and events, framing his own life – as he has done through his numerous Fluxusinspired projects – in hope of liberating himself from the fear that came not only from the original attack but also from the jingoistic rhetoric uttered by US politicians across the spectrum. These images are relatively quotidian, documenting buildings, goldfish and people in intimate settings (some nude, some not) and purposefully avoiding any the physical scars from 9/11, with a sense of unease only visible in a few of those portraits. Since 2002, Onda has presented these images as a time-based piece through slide projection that also served as the graphical composition to be followed by the stalwart New York City guitarists Loren Connors and Alan Licht, whose gritty, avant bluesy figures colour the imagery with their own emotional heaviness of loss, fear, memory and sadness (The Wire, May 2015)
