Atomgrad.
The city of Pripyat is built next to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which exploded in 1986, sending a radioactive cloud over Belarus and northern Ukraine. Displaced, damaged, and never to return. Pripyat still remains empty today, a ghostly monument to the devastation caused by nuclear accidents and the loss of a promised future. As a minimalist architecture photographer passionate by minimal socialism I decided to catch in images this unique place with my both medium format camera 6/6and 6/7, and try to make from this dead zone some visual poetry.
