Hellfire: A Journey from Hiroshima
1986 · 58 mins
Japanese husband and wife muralists Iri and Toshi Maruki are known for their depictions of the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Their collaborative relationship is unique: one paints a painfully detailed vision of the victims of the atomic blast; the other conceals the carefully delineated brush strokes with a grey-black ink “wash.” The first artist restates the specifics of the image; the second re-conceals. Through the repetition of this process, the work emerges.
Directors: James MacDonald, Michael Camerini, John Junkerman
Cast: Toshi Maruki, Iri Maruki
