Peek behind the curtain of one of the most discussed yet mysterious figures in modern cultural history: Yoko Ono. In this revealing video, we delve into the compelling reasons behind her gradual disappearance from the public eye—charting a path from her days as an avant-garde provocateur to her current life of rustic solitude. Once living at the center of Manhattan’s social and creative scene in the Dakota building, Ono has now retreated to a sprawling 600-acre farm in upstate Franklin, New York. The shift prompts a chorus of questions: why would a groundbreaking artist and longtime activist choose a secluded existence?
