PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews Stanley Donwood, Graphic Artist of the film The Bomb.

Stanley Donwood is one of the most celebrated graphic artists in Great Britain and a longtime campaigner against nuclear weapons and he’s one of the four artists that participated in The Bomb film project, screening at the 67th Berlinale in the Berlinale Special section. The film can be considered as a visual experience more than a simple documentary on the story of nuclear weapons and it is that interactive thanks to the experience of Donwood who put all his efforts in making this experience the more invasive and inclusive ppossible for the audience.

The Bomb: over seven decades have passed since a city was destroyed by a nuclear weapon. But the danger never went away. We are now confronted with a world in which nine nations possess about 15,000 nuclear weapons. Many of the weapons in the American arsenal are roughly 20 times more powerful than the bomb detonated at Hiroshima. the bomb places the viewer in the middle of the story of nuclear weapons – the most dangerous machines ever built – from the Trinity Test in 1945 to the current state of nuclear weapons in 2017. It will explore the culture surrounding nuclear weapons, the fascination they inspire, and the perverse appeal they still exert. It will convey the impossibility of controlling this technology.
