How to make a bomb
Rare Books
"How to Make a Bomb is an artwork by Gabriella Hirst, a durational gardening project initiated in 2016, examining the structural connections between horticulture, state power, and nuclear colonialism. The project centres on a rare species of garden rose, the Rosa floribunda 'Atom Bomb', which was developed by German rose breeder Reimer Kordes in 1953 during the height of post-war nuclear fervour. Through processes of grafting and taking cuttings, How to Make a Bomb sees artist Gabriella Hirst propagate new specimens of this rose from one of the few remaining plants of the original species, and teaches others how to do the same through "How to Make a Bomb" public workshops and printed manuals. ... The artist book How to Make a Bomb (2023) was produced by Passenger Pigeon Press especially for the newest chapter of the How to Make a Bomb project, which saw Atomic Terrain importing the Rosa floribunda 'Atom Bomb' into a USA context. The Passenger Pigeon Press How to Make a Bomb pamphlet was designed by Tammy Nguyen, features an essay by Lovely Umayam, as well as an instructive rose-guide by Gabriella Hirst, and official documents amassed during the USA Atom Bomb rose importation process. The pamphlet was produced by Holly Greene, Daniella Porras, Jane Lillard, and Chance Lockard. How to Make a Bomb was produced using silkscreen printing, full-color photocopy, and single-copy photocopy"--From Passenger Pigeon Press website.
