This book is made from photos of the huge amount of debris that laid in the areas around Fukushima after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. The tsunamis destroyed and turned these areas totally into debris. Then the nuclear accident contaminated them with radioactivity.
The images are downloaded from the internet and transformed by several processes using inkjet printers to make visible the radioactivity which was invisible in the original photos. I also aimed to make visible the fear and anger of the people against the Japanese government which decided to transport these debris all over the country to burn them, without taking enough safety precautions.

Hardcover with obi, 27,5 x 20 cm. Pigmented inkjet print on various Awagami papier. Handmade by artist. Limited edition of 50 copies. Signed and numbered.
