Stereo Images, Nuclear Dichotomies

When I lived in Idaho, I read about the Hanford Nuclear Superfund site. I later moved to Nevada, and toured the Nevada Test Site (Nevada Proving Grounds) where we drove on Frenchman Flat and stood on the edge of Sedan Crater. I wish we had been allowed to take photos, but not surprisingly, it was not allowed.

Nuclear Dichotomies, an installation at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, involved a stereo-viewer box displaying 1950’s-era stereo images, complete with mushroom clouds on horizons, or somewhere in the images. I’ve also include a few government images, since those were also a part of the exhibition.
