Aldo Joenoes

Me in a nutshell.

Born in Jakarta, shaped by Los Angeles,
still growing into
London. Each city rewired
how I see, and left me most at
home as a
quiet outsider, reading a room I’m not quite
from.
Often, that in-between view
became the work itself.

I started behind the camera: film school,
production houses,
a stint as creative director.
Then I stepped in front of it,
presenting live
football to millions. But I’m a storyteller
before anything else. A film, a frame, a match,
a stranger
on the street. Different mediums
for the same instinct:
noticing the meaning
in a fleeting moment.

Everything I make comes from honesty
and a bit of heart (and flair).

Hold onto that, and the work finds the people
it’s for, whether or not it’s to their taste.
