he MIR invites you to an exceptional tour of the exhibition with its curator and designer, Geneva-based artist and photographer Nicolas Crispini. Under his guidance, the behind-the-scenes of his work will be explained, as well as his artistic intentions and the reflections that informed this exploration of the memory of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 80 years after the bombings.
From room to room, he will guide you through the photographic installations, the moving testimonies of survivors, the sound archives, the unique images, and the rare objects that make up this exhibition. Nicolas Crispini will offer his personal insights into the themes of nuclear apocalypse, collective trauma, as well as the sometimes shocking cultural representations of the atomic bomb in Western societies.
Between memory, art, and politics, this guided tour is an opportunity to question our relationship with the military atom and to assess our collective blindness to the nuclear danger.
