Creative art pratice lecturer Andrew Sneddon gave a lecture about the power of nostalgia and the 1972 writing "Transparent things by Vladimir Nobokov. He talked about how the power of nostalgia is a hinderance to how we view today's society and to avoid reminiscing in you're art as its too much of an inevitability to look back at past events because everything is bound in time.
He also referenced Chernobyl of 1986 and the Hiroshima bowl 1945.
The porcelain bowl was found among the ruins of Hiroshima after the atomic bomb explosion on 6 August 1945, at the end of World War II. It is an everyday piece of Japanese tableware The heat of the nuclear explosion caused the glaze of the bowl to melt, and it has fragments of brick and other pottery embedded in it. The family which used the bowl would have been obliterated by the blast; some 80,000 people were killed immediately.
It was an object forever evident in the ideology of nostalgia as it captured the event of the atomic bomb, embedded with memory and significance.
