Cornelia Hesse-Honegger, The Future's Mirror, 1996

Since 1967, Hesse-Honegger has produced hyper-realist aquarelles that record morphological changes in insects exposed to radiation under laboratory conditions.

In 1986 she began to produce studies in non controlled contexts; specifically of insects affected by the fallout from the Chernobyl Disaster, or living in close proximity to nuclear power installations ( sellafield etc ). Her findings beautifully depict potentially catastrophic mutations in the food chain.

Foreword by Inge-Schmitz-Feuerhake.
Texts by Cornelia Hesse-Honegger, Peter Suchin, & Georges B. Dussart.
