The geiger counter is a type of graph to display hourly radiation measurements, which I bought because of the earthquake 3.11. Taking advantage of the function, I created a work: I overlaid a graph of radiation measurement on the photo of the measuring ocation. The fact is, each model gives uneven data. However, To compare the measured data at different spots by the same geiger counter is valuable thing.This is why I measured radiation at each places in Japan: the Kansai religion, Fukushima prefecture and Tokyo metropolitan. There are a variety of experts opinions that the result signified by the machine is safe or not. Therefore, all I can do is presenting as just pictures visualizing the invisible radiation, and I leave interpretation of the works to the observers literacy.
