“No Name” visits the memories of the people who lost their lives, identities and property by force on August 6th,1945. Contemporary, 3D still life artworks of those lost objects bring to the imagination life being lived just moments before lives were cut short. Stored in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, thousands of objects with no name have been invisible to the world. 75 years after the atomic bombing, two artists from Japan and the USA (Akira Fujimoto / Cannon Hersey) request to open history’s door. Utilizing 21st century technologies to give a new life to these important objects, the viewer can empathize with the people who lost their lives that day, whose clock, pen, teacups, clothes and helmet have been obliterated and burned by the use of an atomic bomb. Within Future Memory’s “No Name,” you can imagine the mother in her morning gown, a child on the way to school, a grandmother putting away a stack of tea cups and a soldier at war.
