A short video shot by Iori Yoneda during the From Above exhibition in Dresden, Germany.
From Above was exhibited simultaneously in Dresden and Tokyo. A couple more days to catch to the exhibition before it closes in both cities.
Thank you to everyone in both cities who came to the exhibitions. A big thank you to the Dresden and Tokyo teams who made it possible for the photos to be exhibited. Without their tireless efforts none of this would be possible.
Altmarkt, Dresden
Sunday, February 13th, 2011..February 2011.. ..Dresden..
Dresden, February 13th, 1945….Many people passed away in Dresden that night.
I hope we can make this day about remembering the people who died that night and those who survived but lost family. Many had their lives destroyed.
Their bodies were cremated on this ground in the Altmarkt. This is the small rememberance placed on the spot.
I have been fortunate enough to meet many brave and honest people in Dresden the past 8 months. Thank you for welcoming me. I continue to learn.

Mr. Hisanobu Murozono
Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011..February 2011.. ..Nagasaki..
Sad news, Mr. Hisanobu Murozono passed away earlier this week.
He is the 3rd atomic bomb Survivor (Hibakusha), who has passed away since I started photographing From Above. The 2nd Hibakusha this month to pass, 2 weeks after the passing of Ms. Yamashita.
I interviewed and photographed Mr. Murozuno during the first visit to Nagasaki in September 2009. His smile was unforgettable. He was bigger than most of Hibakusha who I photographed. I’ll always remember the great cowboy style tie (two thin black ropes around a ornament) he wore.
He will be missed.
