The work “Miss Atomic Bomb” directly references a series of US propaganda photographs of the 50's. In these photographs, women are posing with different nuclear accessories. As a new "Miss Atomic Bomb", I am collaging these elements and set pieces in a contemporary context that is establishing shifted relations. The posing commemorates a past position within the nuclear issue and sheds a different light on the present discussion and the ongoing debate about Iran’s nuclear programme, that almost inevitably is tangent to my rendition as "Miss Atomic Bomb: Anahita Razmi".
