Fukushima, Autoradiography
Synopsis
This is a juxtaposition of images of the works of Japanese photographer Kagaya Masamichi and the botanist Mori Satoshi’s photographic images of the autoradiographs of diverse organisms and products, combined with Park Chan-kyong’s photo works taken in Fukushima in 2019. The autoradiographs and Park Chan-kyong’s photographs, alike, attempt to unravel the truths of the radioactive accident and the post-disaster reality. However, both constantly fail to reach their goals completely; the former because of the non-present-ness of its x-ray images, the latter because of the invisibleness of the radioactivity. Nevertheless, the audiences may be able to have a glimpse of the overall image of the disaster through their encounter with these images. This is the experience that the artist calls “the deadlock between images and textual information.” (MMCA)
