Description :
In the 11 days following the Chernobyl catastrophe on April 26, 1986,
more than 116,000 people were permanently evacuated from the area
surrounding the nuclear power plant. Declared unfit for human habitation,
the Zones of Exclusion includes the towns of Pripyat (established
in the 1970s to house workers) and Chernobyl.
In May 2001, Robert Polidori photographed what was left behind in
this dead zone and his large-scale photographs capture the faded colors
and desolate atmosphere of these two towns, producing haunting documents
that present the reader with a rare view of not just a disastrous
event, but a place and the people who lived there
