Radiation Mannequin

I have conducted research into the development of nuclear technology in the 20th Century. Alongside examining how nuclear weaponry significantly impacted 20th Century life, I have also researched nuclear power. As a cultural historian, I have investigated how society has reacted to nuclear developments and have spoken at length about nuclear 'ambivalence' during the Cold War years. Radiation Mannequin reflects the pantomime of using mannequins in nuclear bunkers as evidencing human survival during nuclear crisis.

 

Representative images taken at Kelvedon Hatch, Nuclear Bunker, UK, 2012 Images in collection: 12.

The Radiation Mannequin series is now hosted at the Atomic Photographer's Guild.
