On March 11, 2011, a massive earthquake measuring 9 on the Richter Scale struck the Northeast coast of Japan and the Tōhoku region, marking one of the most powerful tremors ever recorded. The seismic event caused the Pacific floor to rupture along a stretch over 500km long and 200km wide, triggering a tsunami of up to 30m in height in some areas.
Presented for the first time in Arles, the group exhibition Reflection – 11/03/11 proposes to draw the gaze of the European continent to this tragedy which caused immense societal and environmental repercussions.
