David D'Agostino: "This work reveals the unsettling parallels between the city of Albuquerque’s nuclear weapons legacy and the intimate violence of its streets–two forms of endemic destruction, one monumental and distant, the other immediate and personal.  The bomb and the bullet are both products of this nation’s contradictions: symbols of power, fear, and survival, yet rendered invisible by economic and political interests– what I refer to as Chosen Blindness."
