An original audio drama series from the BBC World Service, Fukushima tells the story of the 2011 disaster.

At Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

We lose the Daiichi plant. Then we lose Japan as we know it.

Listen to the series now by searching for Fukushima, wherever you get your BBC podcast.

Welcome to the documentary in the studio from the BBC World Service.

The programme that goes inside the minds of the most creative people.

I'm Eliza Lomas, and in this episode I'll be following an artist who decodes the world through sound.

Who moves between real life forensic investigation to artistic reconstruction and reflection.

My name is Lawrence of Ahamdan. I am an artist and private ear.

I've made it a habit of listening to and on behalf of people affected by corporate state and environmental crimes.

In 2014 two unarmed Palestinian teenagers were shot dead by Israeli border guards in the town of Batunya on the West Bank.

An incident that was captured on film.

Audio analysis of the recording by Lawrence revealed that the soldiers were, in fact, firing live rounds and not as they asserted rubber bullets.

This evidence was later presented before the US Congress.

And in 2016 an Israeli court jailed the former border policeman responsible for the shooting.

A year later Lawrence returned to the Batunya case, but this time through the medium of art.

He created a video installation based on his findings, which went on to win the prestigious Namjoon Pike Award.

For Lawrence dissecting the sonic fallout of human rights abuses or uncovering state violence, it's contiguous with making art.

I'm trying to investigate the experience of sounds.

Whether that means figure out how many cells are in use in a prison or figure out our relationship to cinema sound effects

and the acoustic unconscious, those for me are endlessly fascinating things that I will dedicate hours of listening and conceptual energy to.

As a new exhibition of Lawrence's work opens at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, I'll be following the buildup to a performance of his piece after SFX or after sound effects.
