The Untitled Bombsite Project

The Untitled Bombsite Project is a multi-media project that consists of drawings, photographs, found objects, and a 40-minute video.  Produced by Jonathan Rattner and Jill Baker, The Untitled Bombsite Project investigates the story of Nobou Fujita, a Japanese pilot who dropped four bombs into a redwood forest outside of Brookings, Oregon, in an attempt to start forest fires in 1942.  Consisting of local retellings and remembrances. The Untitled Bombsite Project is as much about the act of storytelling, the desire for community, and the fragility and fragmentation of memory and image as it is about this largely forgotten historical event.
