Roman Ondak often uses unpretentious elements and objects from everyday life in his installations and sculptures, he integrates them into slightly estranged or displaced situations, recontextualising them and thus opening a space for new thoughts and interpretations. Like an ethnographer, Roman Ondak delves into his own personal history and the archive of human memory.
