The first joint exhibition of John Lennon and Ono took place in London in 1968. At it, 365 white balloons were released into the sky. At the moment of launching, Lennon said the phrase: "I declare these balloons high." Empty labels with the gallery's name were attached to them, on which, according to the organizers, Londoners were supposed to write messages and bring them back to the gallery. Instead, they received a badge and a letter from Lennon with the following statement: "Dear friend, thank you for writing and sending me my balloon. I am sending you a pin to remind you that you are here. Love, John Lennon". Most of the responses were friendly, but there were also messages of an offensive nature.
In 1971 just months after moving to New York for good. John Lennon appeared at a benefit gig for families of inmates killed in the infamous Attica prison uprising wearing this "YOU ARE HERE" T-shirt.
The slogan You Are Here encapsulated John Lennon's and Yoko Ono’s philosophy on life - Live in the Moment, You Are Here. This phrase was also used as the title of one of Yoko’s art exhibitions. Two years later, Lennon included a track called "YOU ARE HERE" on the Mind Games album, prefacing the statement with "Wherever you are…".
In an interview with Melody Maker he summed up his existential philosophy thus: "All the Bibles, Jesuses, gurus, poets and artists have ever said to people is that this minute is the one that counts; not tomorrow or yesterday. That's the whole game. There's no other time but the present. Anything else is a waste of time!".
