A series of data-maps documenting the new landscape topographies created by the removal of radioactive top-soil in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Exclusion Zone; plotted as fishnets.
Contouring the ground, the nets allude to the triple nature of the disaster across water and land – as well as to the impossible idea of ‘containment’ of radioactive fallout.
