I stumbled upon the video "A-Bomb Blast Effects", a brief mute military report of 1952 about a test for an atomic bomb detonation. I was surprised by the quality of realization that includes detail and panoramic subjective shots and camera movements that are really rare to the documentary style of the time. On the other hand, the image of the big atomic mushroom fascinated me because of its beauty in contrast to its terrible symbolism.

I decided to use only this footage as material to work with. my intervention would consist of modify the given narrative and rebuild it chronologically. In this way, I bring simultaneous points of view and a new character to the material through a triple screen that elevates the central image.
