about

This is a rescore for the film Nijuman No Borei (200000 Phantoms) by Jean-Gabriel Périot. This rescore was submitted as part of an installation at Sanctuary, a 24-hour site-specific public art event that explores what happens when environment, art, technology, science and culture meet, in Scotland, September 2017. sanctuarylab.org/artists-2017/nij…ot-installation/

The Genbaku Dome built in 1914 for arts and educational exhibitions was the only structure left standing in the area where the first atomic bomb exploded in Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. In 2007, French sculptor, painter and film director Jean-Gabriel Périot assembled a cinematic collage from hundreds of multi-format, colour and black and white photographs of different years’ of “Genbaku Dome”.

The rescore is based around three themes drawn from the film: Peace, Despair and a continuous thread of Life. The piano motif running through the piece reflects the most important of these and that is Life which continues, regardless. Although there many ghosts, Life runs strong. They will never die. The memory will only grow stronger, never fading.
