Silent Bill, street artist and author takes you on a haunting visual tour of the abandoned city of Pripyat. The city was evacuated on 27 April 1986, 30 hours after the Chernobyl disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant which was the most disastrous nuclear accident in history. Pripyat, had been built as a home for the power plant workers. 30 years removed from the disaster the city remains a ghost town inhabited only by nature itself. Silent Bill captures the tone of the city and natures resilience within the pages of 'Of Dust and Echoes'. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Still, high levels of radioactivity exist not only throughout Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and parts of Western Europe. Closest to the disaster was the Chernobyl plant in the town of Pripyat. Housing workers of the plant and families, the author notes that the population of 49,360 were evacuated.
Also as noted by the author, the images captured seem to appear as though it is a post-apocalyptic horror film.
Highly recommended to those who like me, are fascinated not only by this disaster and the fall out, but the sheer betrayalof the Soviet government who covered up the disaster until radioactivity was experienced throughout countries near, and far from the sight.
