A river from China to Chernobyl
© NADAV KANDER, CHONGQING II, CHONGQING MUNICIPALITY, 2006
On Monday morning I had the pleasure to interview the press representative of Camera Work – one of Berlin’s most important galleries for photography. At this occasion I could also get a fast overview of the current exhibition. The visitor has the chance to relate to the topic of ecological mishabits of humanity through two different perspectives. On the upper floor there are pictures by Robert Polidori of several scenarios from the abandoned city of Pripyat near the reactor of Chernobyl. On ground floor you’ll find series about the Chinese river Choncquing by Nadav Kander. All pictures are equally impressive and horrifying. A great photographic lecture on the price of human civilisation: distruction of nature. Opening times and more pictures after the jump.
