Necessary Evil 2019

Directed by Christelle Oyiri

Necessary Evil is more of a poem than a video. It is named after the aircraft Necessary Evil that accompanied the Enola Gay during the Hiroshima mission and played a role in documenting the event while symbolizing humanity’s fraught relationship with technological progress. Its name reflects the dark choices that are linked to advancements in history, where progress often unfolds through morally ambiguous actions.
