Graffiti Chernobyl

Little girl in a short dress, trying to reach the elevator button. I think it is just clicks on it - and the cabin, agitated rustling, go down to her from the top floor. But a boy sat on the edge of the high porch, a few minutes again to jump, run, continue to live. But he will never rise, and the girl with ribbons in the slender tail will never make it to the elevator button. After all, they - just shadows.

Painted Pripyat ARTISTS - persona non grata. Visitors is strictly controlled (entry - on passports), on the streets to random people at once heightened attention. If the "legacy" - the second time may be denied.

For example, according to the guide, in the coming decades is unlikely to be able to get people who drew graffiti on the walls of the Pripyat homes. Shadows of people, the children's faces, frozen in a scream, do not look bad, but the administration felt that the drawings "desecrate this place."

BLACK AND WHITE PROJECT. By the 20 th anniversary of the disaster - in October 2005 - Five graffiti artists from Moscow, Minsk and Berlin came two days at Chernobyl, to "add life" in a dead city. At the initiative of photographers Shklyarova Vitaly and Sergey Abramchuk, children survivors of the catastrophe, was born on this project. Constantine Danilov said: "The fact that we are there painted, is not graffiti. Because graffiti - is drawing their names on the walls in the form of letters. What we were doing there - this is pure art, which I did under the influence of the atmosphere, in which he was. This project brings hope to again draw attention to the place of tragedy, encourage people to think about everything that happened. "

According to artists, no abuse of the memory of the victims and the people living there do not. But people who visited Chernobyl, most of them believe that the graffiti really makes a strong impression, and even are already calling card zone. Many people, going on a journey to find and photograph the girl's shadow, click on the button lift, and a woman screaming in terror.

interesting article on Chernobyl:
"About the city
Pripyat was a real Soviet utopia. The average age of the population - 26 years, the city without pensioners, 50 000 residents in the city was 10 000 vehicles. Engineers and plant management received about 4 000 rubles. For residents there were no problems with the goods, stores have always been an orgy, and cars and "exclusive" to them were always out of turn. In the city there was no unemployment, there was no "housing question".
