Inhaltsangabe

Chernobyl: once just an old-fashioned town in the Ukraine, one hundred kilometers from Kiev, today synonymous with the biggest nuclear disaster in human history. 2011 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the accident that took hundreds of lives and forced thousands of people to leave their homeland.

Award-winning photographer Andrej Krementschouk (winner of the 2010 PDN Photo Annual Award) took several trips to Chernobyl, venturing into the restricted thirty-kilometer zone of alienation around the reactor. He took haunting pictures of the rural landscape, alongside touching portraits of people who refused to leave their homes despite the danger of radiation.

Andrej Krementschouk’s first book, No Direction Home, was a 2010 German Photo Book Award and PDN Photo Annual Award winner. His work has been exhibited at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg; the Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin; and the Galerie Clara Maria Sels, Dusseldorf.

Chernobyl – once just an old-fashioned town in the Ukraine, 100 kilometers from Kiev – and today synonymous with the biggest nuclear disaster in human history. April 2011 marks the 25th anniversary of the accident that took hundreds of lives and forced thousands of people living in the surrounding towns and villages to leave their homeland.
Since 2008 photographer Andrej Krementschouk took several trips to Chernobyl, venturing into the restricted 30-kilometer zone of alienation around the reactor. "Chernobyl Zone (I)" shows pictures he took of the rural landscape, alongside moving portraits of people who refused to leave their homes despite the danger of radiation and who show their strong commitment to the surrounding nature and rural lifestyle.
