Documentary fiction. "...experiencing the art is rather like biting into a cookie that detonates in your mouth" -Suzanne Muchnic, Los Angeles Times arts writer. ROUTINE CONTAMINATIONS is about various detonations-personal, political, social, imaginative, as well as nuclear. With Jane and Dick as the primary narrators, routine contaminations traverses the nuclear and chemical landscapes of the past fifty years. "What do you think accounts for the precipitous drop in sperm counts worldwide," Dick asks Jane as they survey a landscape littered with the pathologics of permissible doses, safe exposures, and acceptable body burdens. "How do we expand the range of our affections to embrace all species," Jane replies as they scan the widespread contaminations that are now routine.
