Nagasaki is a series of images of the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki set to the 1928 Song 'Nagasaki'. The deliberately small images displayed on the screen are to encourage people to lean in to see. The actual imagery may cause the viewer's gaze to avert. The content of the pictures in fast succession coupled with the happy and nonsensical lyrics on the song are designed to increase the watcher's discomfort. The happy tune will have added resonance when it is considered that Nagasaki was not the original target for the second bomb but suffered because it enjoyed good weather whilst the first target was shrouded in cloud.

Is there such a thing as luck? Where was God's will in this?

  • I love this song, the images are abit odd for the song. xx

  • You. are. very. unwell.

  • Wow. this really does not work.

  • this song was written uin the 1920a. these images are completely inappropriate.

  • I'm sure the 10 million people the Japanese army slaughtered wantonly during World War II would have begged to differ--if only they could. "Housekeeper?" Does that mean you sit on your butt all day and let your wife or boyfriend pay the bills, Einstein?

  • Truly the most covardly act of world history to date!

    This stain will never be removed from USA history,they even outdone the slaughter of their native indians,wich was sickening enough.
