He takes them on a tour of his work inside the museum. This is raw footage for "New Mexico's Nuclear Enchantment: The Photographs of Patrick Nagatani." Kachinas mocking missiles, a hard rain of trinitite, an ominous glowing mesa, -- through elaborate photomontages, internationally renowned photographer Patrick Nagatani shares his vision of New Mexico’s nuclear enchantment. The result is a wry and poignant survey of New Mexico’s nuclear history and resulting environmental legacy. Of Japanese ancestry, Nagatani, discusses his inspirations and family background that make him indeed “a child of the nuclear age.”
