In Japan the number 9 is called ku (kyuu), which has the same sound to the word suffering and agony. This project is focused on the ethical issues of nuclear energy around human life and living creatures. More than just documentary, in these photos imagination has been imprinted on the reality captured. It portrays a hypothetical futuristic life where daily activities are affected by a radioactivity environment, along with a documentary sequence that shows the current British situation. Dungeness village life close to a nuclear plant and community disapproval in King’s Cliffe, chosen as next nuclear waste disposal.
