Sayo Senoo lived in Scandinavia just after the Chernobyl disaster (1986).

She had cancer several years ago (2012). As she recovered, she couldn’t help but wonder about the connection between the radioactive contamination and what was happening to her body.

Not having obtained a clear answer, even after his long research, these questions increased his fear tenfold. These tunes, which she collected in 2015 from different locations in the forbidden zone about 5 km from the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant, lead us to ask such questions about contamination, security or trust.

Through the invisibility of radioactivity and air, the artist reproduces the mechanism of fear possessed by people affected by disasters.
