Double Fantasy Live - Yoko Ono's Meltdown


When Bishi asked me to document her monumental evening performing on the last night of Yoko Ono's Meltdown Festival, I was more than happy to go along for the ride!

I stood in the wings and sensed the anticipation of each performer as they went on stage, silently cheering them on. I hope to have captured some of the spirit of the evening in these photos.
