原爆 (GENBAKU)

This is a series of four images of Hiroshima A-Bomb Dome (or genbaku dome, in japanese) taken in 2008 using a pinhole camera.

Pinhole camera often gives an unpredictable result. Blur is its main feature and it is used to create “dreamy” images. But I thought that dreams can often be nightmares.
