This is a visual research exploring japanese post-war photography and the way how the events of World War II and atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki radically influenced not only politics and economics, but also japanese culture and collective consciousness. The delayed effects of the bombings, cancer and other diseases caused by radiation, which still threaten generations of survivors (hibakusha), have formed fairly new people. The part of the hibakusha began to consciously hide from the horrors of new reality in other worlds that art offers,such as photography.
