Following the 2011 tsunami and nuclear meltdown in Fukushima, Japan, public outcry in Germany immediately resulted in the closure of eight German nuclear plants, with all remaining nuclear facilities to be closed by 2022. Outside of Japan, no other country responded to the Fukushima disaster as dramatically as Germany. In 2012, I traveled by train to active and decommissioned nuclear power facilities throughout Germany and France. Using my body in a performance-like gesture, I created a mark in time in the landscape surrounding the building, as it was in flux between active and abandoned. The massive decommissioned monuments in Germany sit in a strange state: inoperable but not dead, technologically impotent but also powerfully dangerous. They tower above the rolling hills, sit between the rivers and windy air, and rest as scars on the landscape.
