In her Electric Shadows series, Hana Usui explores the shadowy side of nuclear energy and the reinterpretation it is currently undergoing. Although there are no operational nuclear power plants in Austria, some of the earliest ones are located in Vienna’s immediate vicinity. In her immersive installation based on the Zwentendorf plant, Usui focuses on the catastrophic consequences of a nuclear accident. Using various materials, she visually balances bipolar feelings of devastation and playfulness.
