Film + work in progress

Following their shutdown, the Isar I and II nuclear power plants are important landmarks and architectural witnesses to a belief in progress whose initial euphoria has come to an end. Along this architectural legacy of the nuclear age, we question the looming future.

After the special nuclear train trip, we shot a few scenes in Ohu: two actresses perform as the charge and detonator in a nuclear bomb. A shock makes them realize their agency. They want to put an end to this horror – which they are constantly carrying around – and step out of their technical predestination.

In addition to the effects of artistic speculation, we want to explore questions such as: How to convey the new metaphysical conception of our relationship to time? How can we broaden our horizons in the direction of collective action? Could the legacy of nuclear energy also be an instrument for the general public to expand the human sensorium?
