In this paper I examine traces of radiophobia in gossips as a manifestation of culture in the shadow of an atomic bomb. This study aims to recognize main social functions of this kind of folktales. The field of research is narrowed down mainly to folktales disseminated in Poland. The methods employed during an investigation include an analysis of narratives published in the Internet and newspaper news. The study shows that some of these gossips provide both simplified records of past experience of humanity in the field of nuclear energy, and certain guidelines helping to cope with basic risks involved.

The article analyses the work of artists who not only document the effects of nuclear disasters, but also provide a form of artistic expression, contributing to public awareness and discussion on the nuclear threat. Works by Niwelińska, Slavick, Goin, Gowin and Hesse-Honegger show not only the destruction in space, but also the subtle deformations in the structure of the fabric of life itself. The convergence of perspectives presented by the artists becomes a key tool in understanding that which is intangible and invisible to the ordinary eye. Moving from the micro- to the macro-scale, from the view from above to an insightful look into the internal structures, the artists explore the ‘shaky balance’ between the visible and the invisible.
