Since the nuclear disaster in Fukushima in 2011, the actual extent of the release of radioactive particles has been hotly debated. An important contribution to a better understanding of the effects of nuclear disasters is provided by the photographer Masamichi Kagaya in cooperation with Satoshi Mori, scientist and professor emeritus of the University of Tokyo.

With their photo project they make radioactive contamination visible. Over a period of five years the artist collected many different samples in the affected area – from daily necessities to flora and fauna – and developed a 3D autoradiograph. The project is not only a collection of visual records, but also a new way to present and analyze radioactive contamination.
