After the incident at the power plant in April 1986 the city of Pripyat and dozens of towns and villages in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant were evacuated. This photograph shows the iconic ferris wheel in the center of Pripyat. Radiation levels in this part of the city are a little higher than elswhere because the park was used to decontaminate the helicopters that were used to fight the graphite fires at the reactor.
This is an original hand made cyanotype print and is 15 x 20 cm in size, mounted in a 24 x 30 cm passepartout. I will make no more than 100 prints at this size. Each print is discreetly signed and numbered. The signature is covered by the passepartout.
