Here's a hypothesis: the anthropocene era is already emerging in the early stages of technical culture. The modern idea that human activity affects and shapes the geological formation and evolution of the earth already exists in the fragments of pre-Socratic cosmologies. In the theoretical assumptions of Anaximander, the conception of the world as a technical construction is found, such as a cylindrical column or a mining furnace.

"Anaximander in Fukushima" is an artistic project and poetic essay. It narrates practical wanderings, recordings, open readings of the pre-Socratic philosophers, and genealogies of territorial findings. On-site wandering becomes at times a journey into universal geography and a journey to modern history, from the shores of the Mediterranean to the shores of Japan. The failed nuclear reactors of Fukushima are technological transformations of the Anaximandrian furnace.

The book is addressed more to those who want to grasp through the "topo-moment" the generality, the depth of history, and the extent of "natural-politics". To grasp the genealogy of technique as an experience and personal memory, within the usually boring but sometimes fascinating international discussion about the earth and the future of its present.
