Kei Ono began shooting portraits of high school students from throughout Japan in 2002. This collection, the third in the series after ‘The Glare of Youth’ (2006) and ‘New Text’ (2013), represents the culmination of that endeavour. As Ono sees it, the high school years offer teens a precious opportunity, when they are able to seriously reflect on themselves, and in that sense their figures strike at the heart of the human condition. Ono’s work continued until the global Covid-19 pandemic forced him to stop. Over a period of roughly five months in 2022, once restrictions had been lifted, he shot portraits of students after their experience with the pandemic, bringing the series to an end.
