Roman Ondak is part of a new generation from Slovakia-a country that until recently was part of the ex-Soviet Bloc--who at nearly the same have lived time through both a period of political idealism tempered by reality and their country's accommodation to new international systems and participation a changing Europe. Aspects of Ondak's work show signs of these identity shifts.
He imbues his drawings, installations, environments, photos and performances with social stratifications in addition to conceptual ones. Each piece is another step in an evolving process he develops and stimulates. Using a real fact, a place, a trip, or an experience as a starting point, Roman Ondak informally presents a fiction of his own making, full of repetitions. He sets the scene and the subject, and different filters skew the infinite replay of each story. Memory holds a critical place in his work since it implies experience, the past and its meaning, but also because it opens the way for imagination and the unconscious.
This work occurs at both the material and psychological edges of our perception. Every piece tests the limits of social and even museum space, with every artistic gesture insinuating itself into the every day. Reminiscence is the unifying thread that runs through every work. Ondak explores the particularity of exhibition space like a vast archaeological site whose elements he combines to help understand the reverberations of our perceptions in both space and time, whether intimate or as a group, be they rational or psychological.

When reading a local newspaper Ondák came across a picture that happened to depict his wife walking with their two children towards their house. Later he had his family – dressed in the same clothes – return back to the same location.
