Borrowed Time: The Eye That Articulates Belongs on Land, 2016

9 March – 29 April
A moving image installation by Karen Kramer.
“Shot in Shiretoko National Park in the far north of Japan, and within watchful radius of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor, Karen Kramer’s The Eye That Articulates Belongs on Land offsets beguiling images of unspoilt nature with graphic visual evidence of the ‘re-wilding’ of the landscape around the atomic plant since particular areas became off-limits to human access”.

Nuclear Legacy – Photos show the lingering radioactivity at Chernobyl and Fukushima
by Greg McNevin, a photographer working with Greenpeace
“While these images are compelling, they should be considered art and not an accurate representation of radiation science, field technician Lucas Hixson said in an interview with Mashable.”

Following the earthquake and nuclear meltdown in East Japan in 2011, Kawakubo has created work in Fukushima that focuses on the limits of photographic representation. He asks us to carefully re-examine our immediate visual perceptions and to reflect on the ominous histories beneath the aesthetic beauty of his work.
To Tell a (hi)Story includes photographic, sound and text works along with an installation. Kawakubo’s artworks respond to ongoing social issues following the nuclear meltdown in East Japan. His personal and philosophical reflections on the disaster ask us not only to empathise, but to deeply consider the global implications of the nuclear meltdown.

KEITA MIYAZAKE: Post-Apocalypse
23 Apr 2015 to 1 Jun 2015
Daiwa Foundation, 13/14 Cornwall Terrace (Outer Circle),
London NW1 4QP
‘Keita Miyazaki, a young Japanese artist, works on creating sculpture series and installations which evoke a sense of the post-apocalyptic.
This sculptural series arises from Miyazaki’s observations of modern society. Focusing on the disasters and crises that man-made constructs can bring about (taking the recent global financial crisis and the nuclear meltdown after the Tohoku disaster in 2011 as two examples), Miyazaki started creating a surreal mix of dystopia and utopia in his work.’

I am glad to see many Fukushima related art projects and exhibitions all over the world. I hope that talking about Fukushima in art is not a taboo subject and more people are aware of ongoing crisis of health and environmental problems Fukushima and future generations will be facing. I wish to have nuclear free world for all of us.

‘Those Who Go East’ is excellent and should be part of a much bigger exhibition in Tate Modern!
