GUILLAUME HERBAUT / L'OEIL PUBLIC Urakami Galeria Pauza / Pauza Gallery
In Nagasaki, the US Bomber's mission was to destroy the port and industrial sites, but the pilot dropped the A-bomb by mistake 3 kilometers before, on Urakami. The victims of these bombs became "Hibakushas": "survivors". They endured severe psychological as well as physical sufferings, as there was no adapted treatment. Inside their own country, they were rejected, isolated.
Guillaume Herbaut (born in 1970). Founding member of l'Oeil Public. Prize-winner of the Fondation de France in 1999, he has dedicated himself for some years now to historical places, filled with symbols and memory.
