NOTE: This project is only interesting for the way they work with radiation as a photographic device, not for the concept note of the project. Using x-ray film for capturing the afterlife of uranium extraction is interesting. It allowed to visualize the recalibration of elemental flows in contaminated soils that would otherwise be imperceptible.
