Introduction to the Strangelove Collection
Nuclear Photography and Vintage Light Objects
Strangelove
The "Strangelove Collection" includes original vintage photographs from the 1940s to the early 1970s, portraying the development of the atomic bomb, the unfolding of the cold war, the space race, the childish enthusiasm, and the scientific innocence of the atomic age.
Uranium thincuts
The original Polaroids were produced in the late 1950s by the Metallographic Laboratory of the Canadian Eldorado uranium mine. They document thin cuts of different uranium alloys under various conditions and at different microscopic magnifications. The Uranium ore from the Eldorado mine was used for the Trinity Test and the Hiroshima bomb.
The vintage Polaroids are carefully restored and printed on sheets of Canson Baryta Photographique II matte paper. They are framed in black Halbe distance frames with museum glass.
