Nuclear Evangelism
installation 2014
Based on the nuclear proposal of Semiotician Thomas Sebeok for the US Office of Nuclear Waste Management in 1984 the Nuclear Evangelism aims to re-evaluate and question the current debate about nuclear energy and the, still unsolved problem, of nuclear waste management.
Sebeok proposed to communicate the danger of nuclear waste and storage location through the narrative of religion. The Nuclear Evangelism adopts his ideas to produce the visual and material evidence, a counter-factual interpretation, of a world where the dangers of nuclear energy were embedded into our religious belief systems.
The project consist of an installation in form of an altar, artefacts, a bible and a performance piece of ‘Decay Chain chantings’
