In his first feature documentary, Takeda sets out on a North American road trip with a former high school friend to collect stories of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Traveling from Vancouver, Canada to the Mexican border in the Spring of 2009, the stories shared in Hiroshima Nagasaki Download are transformative and emotional reminders of how strongly past trauma resonates in the present&mdash75 years after these harrowing events. \r\rBased between Tijuana, Mexico, and Düsseldorf, Germany, Osaka, Japan-born Takeda has followed atomic bomb survivors living in North and South America since 2005.  Through multimedia installations, sound interventions, documentary films, large-scale photography installations, and collaborative community projects in various public contexts, Takeda visualizes and amplifies voices of marginalized communities.\r\rTakeda’s most recent work is “Memory Undertow”, an augmented reality project installed at Nagasaki Hypocenter Park, July&ndashAugust 2020 which transmitted and visualized survivor stories through the AR App “Ground Zero” and through a performance event on August 9th.
