Valerie Tordjman - The day before

Trauma, the twentieth century has counted a number. Among these, there is a diptych that we are not ready to forget: the atomic explosions. They are embedded in our memories, even for generations born after. Like mine. Mass murder of innocent par excellence. There was a day before. And there is one day after.

Hiroshi Mori, he wants to present a tribute to the day before. At this time when humanity was innocent from the ravages of atoms. To do this, he presents a show called Little Boy . Name of the first nuclear device. It recounts the adventures of Captain Guilty and Dr. Shrink. Captain Guilty is the B-29 pilot in charge of weather readings over Hiroshima. Surveys that have given the green light for dropping the bomb. His partner is other than the German philosopher Claude Eatherly, an anti-nuclear convinced. The mangaka has created a fiction with the characters for his contemporaries no longer feel guilty about the bomb. The victims have become the executioners of their own conscience.

And that just do during this time the photographer Enguerrand? He managed to s'échappper his publisher to come to the place of the beginning of everything. The fates intersect without ever meeting.

Welcome to our collective consciousness.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We speak of these cities as the scene of the disaster Nuclear. They are in it for us. But they are something else. They have another sense

Before the fungus, they had their lives and their lives today, they have only their dead But the author asks the loaded question: have you ever thought these events not as historical dates but as slices of life I promise you that when you see things differently. The day before, that's it. It is the day where everything was. Where the laughter rang out, and ran crying. And then, pfff ... It's the end of normal and go back in history. Valerie Tordjmann, as in & Fido Diego, shows finesse in the treatment of his characters. No linear vision, or online media. We are navigating from one point of view to another. We are navigating from one reality to another. And finally we fall back on our feet, and the truth of being normal.
