The Hiroshima Project


"Inspire by the photographic work "Hiroshima" by Japanese artist Hiromi Tsuchida, The Hiroshima Archive was originally set up to join the on-line effort made by many people all over the world to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the atomic bombing. I see this as an example of web art because art can be use to tell a story and/or deliver a message and for me the Hiroshima Archive does that." As I went through the archive and saw before and after pictures of the city and photos of people who either die or was directly affected by the bombing it reminded me of the victims of 9/11 and how normal that day was to them until the attack. Galleries like the Hiroshima Archive message is to never forget what took place and make efforts to prevent something like that from happening ever again.
