The origin of this artwork is a photo taken in Hiroshima, showing the Atomic Bomb Dome - the ruins of the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall - which remained after the blast of the atomic bomb. The camera I used for taking the photo is a Nikon F-301.
The original photo was taken as a slide in colour. However, due to the dark clouds and the grey of the winter day at the time I took the photo, the original colours turned out to be basically monochrome. After having digitalised the original photo slide, I modified the slide by using a photo-editing programme.
Given the composition of the original photo with the ruins of the building and the trees in front of it in black and the grey clouds, the photo gives the impression of tree branches rising like skeleton arms, hands and fingers into the grey sky in front of the black silhouette of the ruin.
By manipulating the originally nearly monochrome coloured photo slide and by modifying it in red, black and grey colours this artwork intends to visualise the incomprehensibility of what happened in this place. The inexpressible emotions that are evoked in the viewer should also be underlined by the title \"Silent Cry\".
This is the first artwork in my project series \"Views on Japan\".
