Futaba ... This work is called Futaba. Futaba is a city in the exclusion zone, in which there was a saying above the street that seemed cynical after Fukushima: "Atomic energy: energy for a bright future."

What do we see, what influences our seeing and thinking, what do we want to see, what should we see? What is passed on in the press, in history books or image databases, what of it forms history, what of it becomes our own truth. Which political, psychological, societal, economic, social aspects are already at work in such a clearly delimited topic as nuclear energy? This story ends with the complete dismantling of the slogan. Nothing is left behind? Whose story does the dismantling tell? What is reminiscent of the wish of the then 12-year-old Yuji Onuma and his development after the nuclear disaster? The work documents an interplay of aspects of media and should-be forgotten, wanting to forget and the opposing of two individual people.

The work also contains a motif published by the Olympic Committee. It shows a ceremony of how the Olympic flame is lit from the torch. A projection of the dismantling in Futaba is displayed in the background for a few seconds. Because this, too, is an aspect of forgetting. The Japanese government would like to forget too quickly that there is still a very high level of radioactive contamination in the restricted area - not necessarily so ideal for an Olympic event.
