Synopsis
Under pressure from the government and the media, the operator of the Fukushima nuclear power plant released a fraction of the videoconferences held in the weeks following the disaster. These recordings did not escape the usual censorship : faces are blurred and words cut. But this “blurring” comes to haunt the simple tools of bureaucratic communication, revealing the effects of the nuclear on images and the visible more broadly, its impacts on bodies and eyes.
