Extensive Hot Particle Contamination from Fukushima - Autoradiographs Show Fact Japanese artist uses wide spread Fukushima radiation from contaminated plants, animals and daily goods. He explained that he hoped that seeing radiation would help the general public to understand how much is stuck to plants, animals and household goods which we encounter in our everyday lives. No matter how low the levels of radiation, our cells are being damaged when they absorb it. The weaker levels will be stopped at the skin but stronger levels will enter and stay for a long time within the body. I want more people to be aware that we are living in that kind of environment, Mori told Reuters. There is no place to hide in a picture, nothing is invisible which shows the true reality of the situation, Seina Hareyama, a visitor to the exhibit said. The autoradiographs, or visual representations of the radiation levels, which Kagaya creates in collaboration with his mentor Mori, create a visual impact displaying shadowy images with a gradation of white to gray to black which correspond directly to the levels of radiation. Well, certainly by numbers we can understand (the levels of radiation). However without putting it into pictures it is difficult to understand how and where it is clinging to. That is why we have to put this into a visual image, Kagaya said.
