Having mastered the daguerreotype, a process dating from the earliest days of photography, Arai has recently focused on nuclear-related themes, such as weapons testing and power plant accidents. During a stay in Finland, he researched the areas surrounding nuclear power plants and the Onkalo waste repository, a final disposal site for highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel. Through photography and video, he explores a new language that connects the present to a world 100,000 years from now in which nuclear waste has been rendered harmless.
