Beschreibungen/Notizen
[...]Iraq is only, it seems, a manufactured distraction from the real violence occurring in the Nevada desert, as the American military detonates atomic bombs that devastate its own citizens. The project was delayed and eventually halted, owing to concerns from environmental and Indigenous groups that the test would activate radioactive material from previous nuclear tests. Vivienne herself becomes a document of the blast's toxic effects, as her hair falls out and her skin becomes increasingly blistered and scaly, ultimately falling off in strips.
