And why not a picnic at the shadow of a nuclear plant? It is the absurd that is impressive. Something pathetic as if this could only exist through image. The unbearable plays with us at several levels. It is the unbearable who opens the doors to secession, to politics and that is what makes this image so strong. It is not only the couple picnicking at the nuclear plant, it is cooking at the miniature chimney and so, and precisely because, in perfect communion with nature. Men and his nature, there she is, men adoring his modern God, obediently scarifying his son, eating on the top of a nuclear plant, God bless us. Contemporary unsustainability of human condition is here all resumed in a terrifying way. This image was made Kiluanji Kia Henda, Angolan photographer and BES Photo prize. 2011, exhibit at Berardo Museum Kiluanji Kia Henda
