Comment by Stefan Riekeles: “This image depicts a view of Hiroshima after the atomic bomb. In the foreground stands the building that serves as a memorial to this tragedy today. Despite the ostensible destruction, the scene does not appear bleak. Light from the low sun in the background floods the city, filling it with brightness.
Kosuke Hayashi’s unique talent for portraying light as a fleeting substance lends the work its painterly intensity. The contrast between the ruined city and the sorrowful thoughts it evokes, and the radiant light that seems to suggest hope, creates a striking tension. It is for this reason that I selected the work for reproduction as a limited solegraph edition.”
