Ontolone

Welcome to the world of Ontolone — a multidisciplinary art project by Ilya Melnikov.

Ontolone moves across boundaries: video, sound, text, and image. Here you’ll find experimental films, visual poetry, analog textures, philosophical narratives, and fragments of a world shaped by memory, abstraction, and decay.

This channel showcases my work as a videographer, editor, and conceptual artist, alongside glimpses into my music projects, paintings, and writing. I explore themes of perception, time, estrangement, and Being — influenced by thinkers like Heidegger and Nietzsche, outsider art, surrealism, and the aesthetics of ruin.

Expect cinematic experiments, narrative short films, audio-visual studies, and raw pieces that resist easy classification. Some are polished. Others are deliberately broken.
