Living With Radiation is a visual essay on the world's most pervasive presence: the one we cannot see.
Moving through photographs gathered from archives worldwide and anchored in the exhibition Living with Radiation that took place in Siemens Healthineers MedMuseum, Erlangen, Germany. The film traces how awe became protocol, and how progress left footprints on bodies, landscapes, and institutions.
From radium's early glamour to war-driven research, disasters, and international regulation, it asks a final, unsettling question: who owns the authority to define "safe"?
Taking cues from archival material
Early radium product, archival material design sensibilities and newspaper clippings where central to the introduction of a cohesive visual language that allows for easier narrative exploration while respecting the historical significance of the source material.
