Marcello Rollando experiences The Bomb with Producer Smriti Keshari

the bomb, created by Smriti Keshari and Eric Schlosser, is a groundbreaking experience that immerses you in the strange, compelling, and unsettling reality of nuclear weapons. 

“Half the population of the U.S. were not yet born or were children when the Cold War ended, so there is a profound lack of knowledge about nuclear weapons,” said Schlosser. “There are more than 15,000 of these weapons in the world right now, buried underground and out of sight.  The danger never went away; the awareness of it did.  We hope the bomb will introduce a new generation to the threat posed by nuclear weapons – a threat as urgent and existential as the one posed by climate change, but which gets little if any attention.” 

Since its inception, the bomb has been a one-of-a-kind film, music and art experience. Performed to great acclaim at the Tribeca Film Festival, the Berlin Film Festival and the Glastonbury Music Festival, among other venues, the multimedia installation the bomb, has been re-imagined as a museum installation.

Opening this Friday, March 19th, and running until May 23rd, the installation can be experienced in person at Pioneer Works in New York.
