CHERNOBYL, Take 2! - Back through my archive!...
☢︠D E S P A I R ☢ï¸Â
Graffiti inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is generally frowned upon. Most visitors want to see the ghost town of Pripyat and surrounding abandoned villages as they were left - changed only by nature over time.
This artwork inside the unfinished Reactor 5 cooling tower is somewhat of an exception. Before we entered the tower, our guide prepared us for "the best graffiti artwork in the zone." He was probably right!
The mural of a doctor was painted by Australian artist, Guido van Helten, to mark the 30th anniversary of the world's worst nuclear disaster. Helten worked from a photo taken by world renowned photojournalist, Igor Kostin - taken shortly after the disaster in 1986.
