Right after the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, I discovered a blog mentioning peacocks left in the evacuation zone, within the 20 km limit. I started imagining these peacocks, strolling through the empty town, their beautiful wings spread. The image that this scene sent back to me seemed so far removed from what was happening in Fukushima. It was as if two different layers of images - the scene of the disaster and the magnificent peacocks - were overlapping without ever unifying. After the 2011 disaster, I was constantly confronted with this double perception. Miho Kajioka.
