P(ech) B(lende) : library for radioactive afterlife / Susanne Kriemann ; ed. Heike Catherina Mertens ; [Texte, Christina Landbrecht [and seven others] ; Übersetzung, Alexander Booth, Herwig Engelmann].

• In Pechblende (Prologue), the artist combines her own auto-radiographs and photograms with archival images drawn from various sources, including aerial and scientific photographs that demonstrate how animal, plant and human life is contaminated by radiation. In Pechblende (Chapter 1), Susanne Kriemann reflects on the artistic possibilities of making the invisible visible. She employs both analog photographic methods and auto-radiography - a technique in which light-sensitive material is directly exposed to radioactive objects. Combining her auto-radiographs with archival material and museum objects, the artist literally illuminates the radiation that is capable of remaining invisible despite the light it emits.
