Atomic Park
is a place in the White Sands desert (New Mexico), not far away from
Trinity Site, where the first atom bomb exploded in 1945. This national
park provides an ambivalent landscape, as well suited for a picnic as
for ballistic tests. A white desert, like a natural exhibition hall
every movement can provoke diverse interpretations. Like a faint echo we
hear Marilyn Monroe's desperate monologue and accusation about man's
violence from The Misfits (1961).
