GENPATSU (Nuclear power plants)<\/strong>
\ninevitably shape the landscape.<\/strong>
\nIt’s transcend time and stay where it is.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Japan, 59 nuclear power plants have been constructed, but more than 20 plants have already been decided to retire so far.<\/p>\n

But, their retirement plan is unclear because they always imply technical and social issues.Many of them will likely stay where they are now longer than they are supposed to be.<\/p>\n

Hence, they become a landscape.<\/p>\n

I’ ve covered so many issues related to nuclear plants such as facilily equipment failure and anti-nuke campaign, etc., since I was a news reporter.<\/p>\n

But, the argument has never been ending and nobody found a right answer, then public opinion has been playing on the politicians who have power from time to time.<\/p>\n

What the hell are nuclear plants?<\/p>\n

I am a retired news reporter, but my curiosity about nuclear plants has never been changed.<\/p>\n

To know what they are and to see how they are there, I’ve been touring nuclear plans around Japan and capturing them as a landscape.<\/p>\n

To figure out the true nature of nuclear power plants, I’ve adopted an antique printing technique called Van Dyke brown print, which eliminates color and lacks detailed depiction.<\/p>\n

These constructions in the brownish screens are objects for present, for the past, or for the future?<\/p>\n

Nuclear plants captured by an antique printing technique transend time and stay where they are.<\/p>\n
