Model for a death wish generation – Dominic McGill – Remarque – Julian Laverdiere
“Model for a death wish generation” by Dominic McGill is a replica of a rusted out early-model hydrogen bomb. The device is unsealed at its equator, the top half of the sphere elevated to form a Pacific sky beneath which a scale model of the verdant (and uninhabitable) Bikini Atoll floats serenely in the bomb’s heart, complete with detonation crater submerged in the lagoon.

The author of “All Quiet on the Western Front” Eric Maria Remarque was born on June 22, 1898.
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) is the first major anti-war film of the sound era, it has won the Oscar for the best picture.
June 22 is a birthday for two actors from “Out of Africa” Meryl Streep and Klaus Maria Brandauer. Meryl loves Chinese films. I love her for saying that she wished we would see more Chinese films. She is scheduled to do a film Dark Matter directed by a Chinese. From China Daily on Meryl, here.
