Fukushima mon amour
by Misaki Kawabe
Fukushima mon amour' is an artists book. The title paraphrases Marguerite Duras0-Hiroshima mon amour-, and thereby indirectly evokes associations with the great Japanese trauma of the nuclear bombing in 1945.0Watercolors of toys, or fragments of toys, which seem to originate from surprise-eggs, or which could have been assembled from a walk at the beach, are juxtaposed with photographic material. The photographs appear to have been assembled in an internet research with the search terms -Fukushima- and -tsunami-. Nevertheless the images are rather not drastic, and circle around the catastrophe rather subtly. Absurd advertisement messages such as -Nuclear power is a bright future energy- are in contrast with (formally beautiful) genetically modified peaches.
