Crystal Palace - Ken +Julia Yonetani

We went to The National Museum of Singapore and this was one of the exhibits. Conceived in response to the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011 it is comprised of 31 chandeliers. Antique chandelier frames were refitted with uranium glass and UV lighting . When switched on the UV bulbs caused the glass beads to glow with a haunting green. The 31 pieces signal the 31 nuclear nations of the world and the size of each chandelier corresponds to the number of operating nuclear plants in that nation.
This chandelier - the biggest - represented USA. France had the next largest.
